Now that we have this list back up and functional, we have decided
it's time to offload the effort of running the list. I know it's a
pain for everyone to have to change their list subscriptions, but we
really need to do this. The current list has been down at least a
couple times in recent memory and we're suffering as a result. Also,
there are now a handful of reasonably good free offerings that give us
at least everything mailman offers if not more.
So, without further ado, please make your way over to
http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby and sign up for the new PDX.rb
mailing list. We'll keep this list running for a brief period to help
get the word out, but please direct all new traffic to the new list.
Finally, we have also set up a new list
(http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby-business) for discussion of
group business, including issues like infrastructure issues (the site
hosting, mailing list, etc), decisions about where we will be having
meetings (like when FreeGeek is closed and such), and that sort of
thing. Feel free to join in if you're interested in these things, but
please keep the discussions limited to concerns about group business.
If you don't care about these things, don't sign up. ;~)
Oh, one last thing, I want to again thanks Daniel Johnson (teknotus)
and Josh Martin (Skiz) for getting this current list back up and
operational. Without their help we couldn't have gotten this
announcement out in nearly so graceful a manner.
Thanks,
Thomas
