I agree with Robin. No to Facebook. Graham

Should happen that WAMUG moved to FaceBook it would end my ≈ 3 decade membership. I’m not all supportive of your suggestion. robin On 17 May 2022, at 9:11 am, Rod Blitvich <rb...@iinet.net.au<mailto:rb...@iinet.net.au>> wrote: Thanks Daniel and Committe.

As time’s gone by, it’s now the only list sitting on a very old server and is due to be “decommissioned”. Because of this, we are having to look to move it. The new space it will sitting in is still hosted in Australia. The good news is that there is still somewhere we can move it to that uses the same type of software it’s run on. Which in theory should mean there is no change to how the list will work. It will be “just like normal” for day to day things. The bad news is, it will cost us a little extra each year to run it. However, the membership cost will easily cover this. So doesn’t mean an increase in costs to all. So I guess that’s “good bad” news. :) We discussed this within the committee and all are happy to look at the move. In theory there shouldn’t be any disruption to the list in the transition period and I’ll let people know before and after it’s been completed. Hopefully, it should also mean that there are more current updates installed to the backend of what runs the list - so that’s good news as well. There’s a little bit of work to get it all organised. But hopefully as mentioned, it shouldn’t affect the running of the list. Though when it’s down, if you do post you may not see your message arrive. But I’ll certainly let everyone know by a mailing post before it gets transferred and after it’s completed. Hopefully this will ensure the list can continue running for many more years to come! Thanks in advance for your understanding with this. If anyone has any queries or concerns, please feel free to post them to the list and I’ll do my best to answer them. Thanks!
