hey ...
On the Community and Project Lead Site Reference document there is a bit
about announcements:
http://opensolaris.org/os/communities/lead_reference/#add-announcement
But that describes how to add an announcement to a project/community
page. Many times people ask how to publish announcements to the entire
community -- which is opensolaris-announce. We may want to add a section
to this doc explaining this. Here's some suggested text:
opensolaris-announce is the main list for announcements to the entire
community globally. Here's how Communities, Projects, and User Groups
can use this list:
1. Sign up to opensolaris-announce
http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-announce.
2. Look at some examples of announcements to get an idea about
generally accepted formats
http://opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=76.
3. Post your announcement to opensolaris-announce from the Jive forum
or from your email client, but please don't cross-post to other
lists on the same mail. Also, opensolaris-announce is a one-way
moderated list, so after you post you will get a bounce
notification saying your mail is in a queue. Moderators only
filter spam, so if your announcement is directly related to
OpenSolaris it will most likely be approved within a few hours.
Or something like that.
I get this question all the time, so we may want to have it documented
somewhere on the site. If it's already up there somewhere, apologies.
Jim
