[Balug-Admin] BALUG November Announcements

[Andrew Fife]

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.

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

conflicts):

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.  More at:
