Text:

Include a friendly welcome note and thank them for deciding to contribute to open source. The text is important. Because most email clients would not display images from first-time senders. You can refer fossasia.org and blog.fossasia.org for ideas.

Invite them to join with fossasia via facebook(http://www.facebook.com/<wbr/>fossasia) and twitter(http://twitter.com/fossasia).

Important

  • Your html should be responsive. Try it out on different devices you have and upload screenshots with your work.
  • Use inline css and javascript. Embedded css / javascript probably won't work on many email clients.
  • If you are using fonts be aware whether they are free to use.
