[volunteers] Officers mailing list

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Edward Cherlin (echerlin at gmail.com):

> Would someone put Lisa Corsetti on the officers mailing list?

Speaking solely for myself, it's OK by _me_ if Lisa or any other SVLUG
volunteer wants to be on that now-pointless[1] thing -- though, last I
heard, it had basically a whole lot of nothing in it.  However, I have
to warn that the next president or VP (whoever those may end up being)
may countermand that.

However, it's simply really bad netiquette for people to be "put" on
mailing lists.  There are other and much better ways.  In the case of
"Officers", Lisa can simply send in a subscription request on the
"Officers" listinfo page.  (See instructions on svlug at .)  That request
will be held for listadmin approval.  If I see a consequent admin
request from Lisa or any other such person, I'd approve it if Paul
Reiber (or some other person with listadmin access) doesn't process the
request first.

> Also, what is the president at ... password? Is it set to go to me yet?

I'm not sure I understand the question.  There is a system mail alias
called "president".  Please see my recent reply to Paul Reiber on
Web-Team, where I responded to his request by repointing that alias to
"volunteers", for now.

It should, of course, be repointed a second time to point to the
preferred mailbox of the next SVLUG president.  That could be you, or it
could be Alvin (if I understand his recent posts correctly, about
running), or Bruce Coston, or someone else who hasn't declared, yet.

There is not shell login named "president", if that's what you're asking
about.

(Above is of course my view, and other admins you might be addressing
your question to might well have different views.  I'm just picturing 
Bruce, Alvin, or some other candidate asking me why I unilaterally 
ignored their candidacies, and realised I have no good answer.  If that
seems highhanded for any reason, imagine your and Bruce's situations
to be reversed, and reconsider.)


[1] Actually, of late, it's been _worse_ than pointless, since numerous
members have tried to contact it, and encountered non-response only, having
no idea that their e-mails were, in fact, being autodiscarded.  I've
tried to ameliorate this debacle by putting the key paragraph on the
listinfo page into bold text, but it isn't 100% successful.
