So I'd like to ask for the creation of: opensuse-conference-announce@opensuse.org opensuse-summit-announce@opensuse.org opensuse-conference-participant@opensuse.org opensuse-summit-participant@opensuse.org
I agree with the points, but find this proposed list confusing.
* I'd like to suggest changing x-announce@. to x-news@. It just sounds friendlier that way. This is obviously an opt-in list, and not restricted to only those who register. Your proposal for this is a good one.
* x-participant. This one I'm not sure about. We can send an email directly from Indico to all participants of a specific event. I don't see the need for creating a new mailing list for this. The registrants are, by default, on a mailing list already. Therefore, there is no error-prone situation in making sure all registratns are fully informed on important conference-related knowledge.
The idea behind the participant list was that the participants can talk to EACH OTHER, as opposed to this being a one-way-from-us-to-them list. They can discuss logistics like sharing train, taxi or car; sharing hotel rooms; tips on pretty things in Prague etcetera.
