indeed, with everyone running around like headless chickens, it's perfect 'divide and conquer' from AD

As this is potentially quite an important thing we are talking about here, can we please not rush this or end up with 10 different initiatives... Polling each decision seems to me to be the best way to approach this from the outset.

Rob Chapman ? he's a sound dude, i'd say Guillaume Laforge but i don't know he would feel about that, probably sacrificed too much to SI already. Maybe Eric Moots, he'd have a vested interest, but i suspect he likes his privacy, and he is quite well to do so...

Did the mailing list just die down all of a sudden? Is everyone off to si-community, if so i think thats not the best solution as forums tend to dilute down the level of discussion over various boards which is not in my opinion the best thing right now.

It can be even more awesome if all of us can pull our resources together and ask and share about any DCC we are using. Be it maya, houdini, max, modo, blender etc. Let's make a new list and keep doing the same thing that we have been doing over the years - Ask, Share and just be awesome ! For me personally, as a developer / td, I am ready to write tools for anything. I am still happy to answer any core math questions as it forms the basis of most of our work in any package. Let's do this in parallel to the list.

My point was more to the effect that we should not wait for such plans to occur. Allowing people to ease into a new routine Yes Francisco, i too think a new list would be a good option. one that represents other demographics as well would make sense Emilio, you are a true SI soldier and i share your passion, I'm not encouraging an exodus here, but instigating an initiative to safeguard the knoledge of this list, that knowledge is its members and we both know that many here will not have the choice not to transition, i'd like these people to have a place too, and i don't think a banner should be held aloft as a heavy reminder of what we have lost. it would only lead to wat ever new structure to become a mourning wall. i hope you understand (please don't hate me !) :( On 5 March 2014 01:09, Luc-Eric Rousseau <luceri...@gmail.com> wrote: I'm not aware of plans to shut down this list.

The recent events that have befallen our community enunciate a breaking. After this nothing or very little will be the same. People will shortly be departing for uncertain pastures. One way or another, a long journey through the night awaits us all, and we will find new lights and some will find new apps to call home. But I think that it is important we take steps to preserve this community even if our paths seem to be at a crossing. For the knowledge and solace woven here, surely they can not take. If we are to move to a new list or to regroup around an existing resource, eg: SI-community, we should do so soon before someone comes along and shuts down this list scattering us to the winds of which not all of us may find their way back.
