I think there is scope for a london.pm social list
Not moderated and where you can post emergency socials, informal meets 
and so on.




Emails posted to the -announce list also go to other non-Perl announce
lists. We shouldn't spam them too often.


Indeed. The main issue I am aware is that announce - gllug-social list 
where it raises hackles from anti perl brigade.

We're a social lot and always have been. AFAIC, the main list, plus 
announce is where these types of announcements belong.

Why would a social group not want to be informed of relevant, and 
usually very pleasant pubmeets?


If they don't think it's relevant ot their interests, they can always unsub.

Just so you know: I just got 4 emails about this (the earliest dated Thu, 16 
Jul 2009 12:07:38 +0100) in a London PM digest. Obviously not much use as it's 
now Friday - not that I was going to go anyway. And, yes, I know I could switch 
to receiving non-digested London PM postings.

 

Just wondering if there was a magic configuration that could be applied to the 
list's software to do something about this.

You could subscribe to -announce non-digested while keeping the main list
in digest mode.  And arrange subtle reminders for any event-posters to use
the announce list (which will mirror it to the regular list too, if I'm
not mistaken).

The magic is presumably to use london.pm-announce.

 I'll be standing around outside from 6:30pm with anyone else who comes
 along, and there'll probably be some BBC worldwide people since it's
 their favourite pub.

 Come along and have great beer, I think the guy said there'll be about
 60 ales constantly rotating. He seemed to be excited when I said I'd
 bring perlmongers. That pub loves us.

will the beer user be required to maintain the rotation of the beer,
perhaps by dint of some complex spinning alg ?

have never heard of a tasty beverage : dizzy dolly.

cant make it mysel, but appreciate the herdings.
