Hello:
We’ve discussed at the last few meetings that there’s a need for change in communication with group members.
From those who responded in a recent informal poll, there was an overwhelming opinion that the mailing list was the preferred means of communication but we’ve seen that we need more interactivity as it’s been lacking somewhat in the current system, which Nick and Larry have graciously been providing for many years.
Mike has set up new mailing list software on one of the LUG’s machines, and we’ll be moving the users from the old mailing list to both the NJLinux-announce and the NJLinux-discussion lists.
Users that do not want to be on one or both of the lists can simply follow the directions to be removed through the instructions on the bottom of any of the announcements, or by just letting us know, so that you can
be removed manually.
Hopefully, though, all of the current users will stay and contribute to the community that we are trying to promote. We wanted to set up the new discussion list in an effort to be able to more easily get feedback and information from the members in order to arrange events like Software Freedom Day, the Revolution OS screening, etc.
So please, join us, join the discussion, and hopefully we can make the group more active and productive.
Thanks,
–Bob
