Just because it hasn't been used doesn't mean it shouldn't be used...there have been a number of notices on the -dev list recently that could/should have gone out on announcements (folsom-1 yesterday?). > In any case, my idea is to replace the list with a newsletter: people > interested in receiving regular updates (like the weekly newsletter I > send out) will subscribe there. Part of the point of low-volume announce lists is that when something _does_ show up from there you pay attention to it. I don't think parsing through a newsletter achieves the same result at all, neither do blogs or twitter/FB/G+ unless those accounts are functional equivalents to -announce, then its just a matter of remembering to go check them. dt -- Dean Troyer dtro...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
