[CI-Announce] Shutting down the ci-announce at python.org mailing list?

[Ken Manheimer]

As I suggested a bit more than a week ago, I'm shutting down the
ci-announce mailing list. I haven't heard any objections or suggestions
about alternate actions, so this will be the last message.

I don't know how many of you will read this message, but looking over the
subscriber roster it occurs to me to send out a note of gratitude for your
interest in and efforts to cultivate contact improvisation. I think this
practice we enjoy may be important in unobvious ways. In any case I know
for many of us, me included, it is personally important, and we depend on
shared interest to keep it going. So, thank you, and be well!
