"Welcome to the inaugural issue of Ignite, our monthly newsletter by, for, and about the OpenSolaris community, featuring news, how-to articles, tech tips and reviews." http://www.sun.com/emrkt/opensolaris/ignite Since this is an opt-in service, this will be the only announcement. OK. maybe I'll send around another one in a couple of months - but you will not be spammed monthly when new newsletters are published.

I'd like to open a new list for OSUG leaders -- osug-leaders at opensolaris.org -- with each OSUG choosing one person to represent their group on the list. Here's why: As the OSUG community grows larger it's getting difficult to reach everyone for important issues. For instance, we have some new resources for new OSUG kits and other items that we'd like to send soon, and we'll need to communicate with leaders in a focused way so these things can be distributed efficiently. There will be a few Sun people working on this, and they'll be on the list, too. Also, as we update the site and migrate the OSUGs to their new status as equal to Communities and Projects (see my previous mails on this), I'll need to talk to the leaders of each group frequently. I won't be able to ping all 80 lists like I do now, and when the numbers grow to 100 or 200 I'll be totally buried. The OSUGs hold the largest number of people in the community, and we expect these numbers to grow significantly in the coming year. So, a leaders list seems needed at this point. Once the OSUG leaders are on this new list they can use it to communicate with other OSUG leaders around the world to share ideas and such, but the immediate need is logistical. As new OSUGs come online, I will automatically subscribe the leaders to the leaders list as I create their projects and group lists. Cool with all that? If so, I'll start the process by adding a leader column to the OSUG grid to list the name of each group's leader. This way, everyone knows who represents each group and there's no confusion. Now, OSUGs have multiple leaders, of course, and they are welcome to join the list, but for the purposes of this I need at least one leader from each OSUG on the list to represent their group.

Is there a specific URL where we can go to and subscribe, or do we just need to shoot off an email to the osug-leaders email address with a subscribe in the email? Or does anyone else know the answer? thank you, Jerry Kemp Jim Grisanzio wrote: > hey, guys ... > > I'd like to open a new list for OSUG leaders -- > osug-leaders at opensolaris.org -- with each OSUG choosing one person to > represent their group on the list.
