[Baypiggies] Proposal: Sublist for meeting organizing

[Mark weisler]

Just F.Y.I. but over at the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group (SVLUG) we use several lists: http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/listinfo/

These include ...

 
List	Description
Jobs	Linux and Linux-related job postings, fulltime and contract
Officers	Officers of the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group
Smaug	Smaug Discussion List
Speakers	Archive of the former Speakers mailing list, 2002-2005
svlug	Discussion list for the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group
svlug-announce	Announcements relating to the Silicon Valley Linux User's Group
Test	[no description available]
volunteers	Volunteers of the Silicon Valley Linux User Group
web-team	These are the folks who keep our Web site running

Our group is similar to yours. We have lots of discussion about finding and scheduling speakers and some of this "noise" is not of much interest to the general membership. Our 'volunteers' list does most of the work of finding speakers and this works well for us.
This arrangement works well for us and I'm pointing it out in case it can be of any help to you.
The credit for this arrangement goes to our early SVLUG founders such as Rick Moen.
