Rick:
Thank you for the mailing list links... not sure how I missed BayLISA.
Not everyone's happy with seeing every group start to publicise
_routine_ > upcoming meetings on every other group's main discussion list.
Hmm, this is the first time I have heard of this. While I definitely do want to expand BALUG's attendance, annoying people clearly is not a good way to encourage folks to attend. Do you have a feel for how widespread this sentiment is? I was under the impression that most folks were cool with on-topic, non-commercial announcements from other local organizations.
Hopefully BALUG can strike an appropriate balance, because mailing lists do seem like an effective way to get the word out.

Quoting Andrew Fife (afife@untangle.com):
Quick Question: Does anybody know if BayLISA, East Bay LUG or Stanford LUG have mailing lists? If so, links to their registration pages would be much appreciated, as I have not been able to find them.
Respectively:
o Yes: Follow hyperlink "Services" from front page. o No, last I heard. o Yes. https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/sulug-discuss, but inquire with the listadmin about https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/sulug-announce

Obligatory note of caution: Not everyone's happy with seeing every group start to publicise _routine_ upcoming meetings on every other group's main discussion list. I'm among the skeptics, for one, and find that an alarming and annoying trend.
