I can and probably will expand a bit on what is off topic, but I think I
have spelled out some of it clearly.
In my mind, it is important is that it is of value to the group, and
specifically related to linux, free/open source software, related
technologies (anything from browsers to networks, the
I think when you decide to have a closed list, it is certainly as
appropriate to just compose e-mails to each other that you want to send
the private messages to.

yes, I agree there needs to be more clarification. the thing is: windows
is an operating system, it competes with open source operating systems,
it runs open source software, sometimes you have to integrate it with
other open or closed source systems from a network or systems design

Since it seems that we are "formalizing" socallinux.org, wouldn't it be nice
if we actually engaged more in related community events? It is not uncommon
to see local linux chapters in Web 2.0, Where 2.0, OSCON, SCALE and the
like.
Since SCALE is happening soon, why not present something? I remembe

I second this, we could just theoretically add another mailling list to the

Or even something as simple as gene...@socallinux.org
Just my 2cents.

I don't know if this is a big thing but in Article 3 of the charter, the second
sentence refers to accounts on the socallinux.org website. I know that people
could make accounts before with the previous site but will that feature come
back? Just wondering so people don't get confused by that pa
On a somewhat serious note, it sounds like we need a separate "collision
domain" where the soi-disant "asinine" chatter can flow a bit more freely.

I wanted to point out to everyone that I have enhanced some of the
language in the charter.
Please note the following:
- Re-worded section 1 of Article 4.
- Detailed requirements (last paragraph) of moderators.
Please reply with any feedback on the Charter, it's goals and purpose,

Hi Jesus,
Sorry I won't be around to chat about sasl in IRC today, I am having to
help a car-less friend get around, so I'm going to be on the road most
of the day. I'll try to find time either this evening or later this
week, and also I can do a write-up of what little I know about sasl and
