[OOTB-hive] Proposal: Coalesce the mailing lists

[Oksana Kurysheva]

Hi Martin, 

You can easily remove MKT mailing list. We don't use it at all. Even for internal collaboration about BeeCon we used marketing at ootb and beecon at ootb addresses. Marketing and mailing lists arу inconsistent :) 

Regards, 
Oksana

Subject: [OOTB-hive] Proposal: Coalesce the mailing lists 


Hi all 

Currently we have 6 mailing lists. This one and one per committee. 
Pretty much the only thing that happens in five of them is spam 
mitigation. These are managed uncomplainingly by an open source 
organisation run by a friend of mine, but I do know that there is a 
definite administrative overhead associated with maintaining them. 

I would like to propose that we reduce the number of mailing lists to 
just this one. There is not so much traffic that we will overwhelm 
subscribers. However I realise many people don't want the minutiae of 
INFRA or DISTRO conversations in their inbox. Personally, conversations 
about governance send me to sleep (even in the board meetings, oops!). 

So I suggest we set a subject prefix when talking about 
committee-specific topics, e.g. "[DISTRO] latest release of the 
dockerfile" and that when we have a generic conversation we merely use 
no prefix. That way subscribers can set negative filters on the topics 
that they don't want to hear about. 

What do we think? I'd really like to be able to go back to the xtreamlab 
guys and say thanks very much but turn that lot off.... 

Cheers 
Martin
