Subject: RE: linkedin group

Thanks Joe - I guess I *could* have found that  out by looking myself

Understand  its not official and I know linkedin isn't great but its comes back 
as 2nd or 3rd if I google "cloudstack users group" . Its creates a poor 
impression

IMO, it needs to be moderated or removed.

I'd happily donate some effort to this (I already do the European one, takes a 
few minutes a week to keep on top of the recruiters) but also happy if 
*anybody* else wants to step in (or the original guys want to get back involved)


Anybody on this list who could help - please shout.

Anybody object if I ping Shannon, Karen, Mark et al and ask them to help here 
by making some others the organisers ?



Kind Regards
Giles

Argh, spammers.

It takes way too much time to manage these things effectively. Same with 
forums. Things like Twitter are great because you have less opportunity for 
spammers to try to use the platform. They can @reply you, but that's about all.

IIRC we decided a while back that this group was not "official" and left it up 
to the folks who'd started it to keep it healthy. Maybe one of the managers 
could add you if you have some time to help weed out the spam?

Best,
