Regarding the announcements, has it been decided that an issue 10
days, 7 days, and 1 day before the event is more effective than 7 days

to border on spam and get ignored.
Here I'm doing:
14 days - this has to do with the interplay between the schedule
of the meeting and the local newspapers' calendars (10 days would be
too late)
7 days - this just seems traditional
0 days - I frequently received, "Damn, I forgot the meeting was
tonight" messages when I was doing 1-day. Truth be told these often
go out at 11PM or so on the day before.
If I ever get off my duff and finish my half-baked LUGMinder app,
it'll have RSVP links in the mail so people can shut off subsequent
messages by RSVP'ing (and an iCal feed so they don't need the
reminder). This is only to admit that a unidirectional -announce
list is non-ideal for the task.
