Ubuntu – Does the Ubuntu Newsletter still get sent over email

canonicalcommunity

I've signed up for the Ubuntu Newsletter (via the downloads page) several times (one of them I think being two years ago), and have never received one. I thought maybe they just didn't exist anymore, but then I saw this question, which provides a link to a recent one. Does Canonical still email out these newsletters?

PS I don't have a spam folder; the filter just adds "SPAM" in the subject of the email.

For clarification, I do not mean a downloads page for the newsletter.

I'm getting my emailed copy of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter. It's published at many locations, including

& more.

Traditionally posts published to Ubuntu Fridge (my first link) are mirrored to http://ubuntu-news.org/ , where an issue there does exist.

It was hoped that would be fixed Dec 26, 2020, but it wasn't possible, and with luck the fix will occur soon.

A number of feeds (eg. google use ubuntu-news.org for their info) have thus stopped at UWN issue 660 as that was the last post mirrored to ubuntu-news.org.

At this time, our next issue (#664) will go out in tuesday morning (my local time, <48 hours from now), and I'm hoping it'll appear on http://ubuntu-news.org/ as well, but I'll have to wait and see (ubuntu-news maybe back online later this week)

Email'd issues of Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter are being sent out, but after a number of returned emails, names on the list get removed. I don't have your email, so can't check if it's on the mailing list, but links to where you signed up may have been helpful in looking for reasons as to your not receiving copies. Emails go out


Reference in the question was made to a question which referred to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter so it was assumed it was that Newsletter which was being asked about. Instead it turned out in comments (below) it was a Canonical Newsletter signup, which is an ad-hoc publication used for marketing purposes. That newsletter comes out from the Canonical company (why you have to tick that you agree to receive information about Canonical's products & services) and is not a Ubuntu community newsletter.
