Old GLUG list

[Gerard Ryan]

Hi modern day GLUGgers,

I was quietly going about my business on the world wide web, when I
came across what I assume is the old Galway LUG list[0]. There don't seem
to be any recent posts of any relevance, just the odd spam.

Should I send a message to it to let anybody there know that this is
where the action is at? Or should we move there? There are other
Irish LUG groups on that server[1], some active, some not.

I maintain mailman lists on a professional basis. I wouldn't do it for
fun, that's all I'm saying...

Similar opinion here!

I think that Google Groups is easier to join and maintain on a casual
basis than having to mind mailman.

I've emailed some friends who I know do ILUG stuff to see how the place
is getting on. Would love to hear more from that group in general.

Cheers,
Padraic

I'd be less sure that it's easier to join. If you have a Google
account, yes; if not, then it's not at all obvious to me from looking
at the 'new' Google Groups, how to actually join a list. With mailmain
it's that's a lot more obvious imho.
This came up recently when there was someone on IRC who wanted to join
the 091labs-public list but didn't have a Google account, and refused
to sign up for one. It took a while of asking around before I got an
answer, but I can't remember what that was now, and can't see from the
site.

I can't speak for maintaining mailman lists, since I've never done any.

Let's put it this way: the only way to give admin/moderator access to
someone else is to email them the password. THE password.

I love how some mailman lists I'm on also send me MY password on the
first of the month too.

Hi to all,

It may be hard to find a responsible person to watch over the mailing list but if you find one I think it is great option. I kind feel it is more independent, which may not be based on reality it is just the feal. I had few times problem to join some group because they wanted me to "sign up" for various services which I was not interested in.

Best of luck with the Galway Linux group, I had a great fun there in my times, really nice people!

Sincerely,
