For the email address, I suggest an alias on tux that expands both to sysadmin (a mailman list) and a real person or three. Maybe Lisa, me and anyone else who might be interested. The reason being that if mailman breaks, the real people will get the message personally. I don't mind getting the message twice. Presumably there won't be too many of them. bjb On Wed, Aug 04, 2010 at 10:50:54AM -0400, Dave O'Neill wrote: > On Mon, Aug 02, 2010 at 07:34:13AM -0400, Dave O'Neill wrote: > > I've got the go-ahead to get OCLUG set up on Hosted CanIt.
