> > Maybe -news team should be a sub-team of -marketing? I think news should be independent of marketing. Both are independent and exclusive fields even if information overlap occurs all the time. In the marketing team we allow individual community volunteers to promote their ideas/schemes/whatever.., provided they work on it too. Some are commercial and/or non-profit which is perfectly ok and a lot of folks find it useful and nice, so we need to ensure that a new visitor (who is uninvolved) in the community does not get confused and thinks its ok to use the marketing team as a way to self-advertise themselves without actually giving anything back to the community.

This has been discussed earlier and I voted to keep the list, and allow only subscribers to post messages to reduce spam. > - What to do with the marketing-submissions mailing list? Even this list seems to attract more spam than useful submissions :-( I just checked and found a total of 12 posts of which 6 were spam, but then that is a problem we have on the fridge-devel list too. Keep any list open and we get more spam than anything useful :-( > > My gut feeling would be to make fridge-devel the ubuntu-news-team > mailing list, turn off the free submit and then make the IIRC, we have an ubuntu-news list[0]. Why not use that instead. It hardly has any post , mostly for UWN. IMHO, too many mailing lists just create more confusion and more work for volunteers and also more explaining to do (as to "this" goes to foo-list and is off-topic for foo-bar-list).
