I like both idea 1) promotional message from vendors and 2) project
messages. However, it not appearing as spam has always been the
concern.
I would like to point out that in the Whats New section of the
welcome screen we do have the Eclipse Foundation news feed
displayed. Unfortunately, my guess is that very few people go to
this page.
I would be open to suggestions about how to improve the news item we
have in MPC. I would be happy to have more project release
information in the newsletter. FWIW, we list all the project
releases now but it is not easy to find a new and noteworthy for a
lot of releases.
In general, I think the projects under utilize the existing
communications channels we have established with the Foundation. We
have very active social media channels, the eclipse.org home page
has over 1 million visitors per month, our monthly newsletter has
over 115K subscribers. If a project wants to get a message out to
the community we can help. I just need to know about it.

Hi Marcel,
I like the idea! Another use case is for product vendors to
send promotional messages for their customers.
The challenge is to avoid annoying the user. There should
be a mechanism to opt-out and/or the user should be able
select the project which she is interested in receiving
messages.
Greetings,
Kaloyan
