Sidestepping the argument, what about the independent mailing list discussed at the meeting. I had thought after one week we would have one up and running?
See my earlier questions about hosting/etc - I agree, this is one of the first things we should do. Now that we have a write-up of the meeting (thanks Paul) I would like to post to some organisations (LWN, Seul), but I do not have anywhere to point them to ... ? An empty website with a single page with the write-up from the meeting could be a start ... maybe ? Perhaps Roger, it could be added to the SuSE schools pages ? Or I could host it on any of the sites I am involved with (Northants LUG, lug.org.uk), or maybe Malcolm to add it to ose.org.uk ? (I am assuming that osie.org.uk is just redirected to fensystems at the moment - is that correct ?)
it's not really appropriate for all the osie discussion.
I think the OSE lists need to now boil down to the core people interested in doing the work and running the server - so I would agree, we need our own list. It is great to have so many comments from people in general, but the people with an interest in doing the work need a focused list where we can discuss the raw details of what we want to do. I am sure that most people on the SuSE list don't care if we are OSE or OSIE or where the server is hosted - but these are things the admin team (as I guess it will become) have to decide on before we can move further.
We need several osie lists along the lines of:
Initially I would suggest just admin@ and then we can discuss the rest :-) Roger could you create us a temporary ose-admin list at suse.com? Failing that I could get us one on lug.org.uk (majordomo managed). Kevin. Northants LUG
