[Debconf-team] Reducing the bandwidth of -announce?
People, We've sent 8 (+1) mails to -announce today, I'm wondering if we could maybe reserve our most important announces for that list to keep our attendees focused on what really matters to them? Please consider directing your general informations to -discuss. (Yes, I've been playing that game too, the merchandise information should've gone to -discuss instead).

I'm kind of curious why we have two lists? I know one has more free permissions for posting, but it seems like a single list with open posting would be sufficient.

I see -announce as a platform for official or mandatory communications, and -discuss as the playground mailing list for all attendees… I think the distinction is important, but if we want to close -announce, I won't fight for it.

Right, for me -announce is a platform for official communication from DebConf Team. DebConf discuss is Discussions about Debconf so you can share everything you need in -discuss.

Please consider directing your general informations to -discuss. (Yes, I've been playing that game too, the merchandise information should've gone to -discuss instead). While the volume has been quite high today, and quite a bit higher than for previous conferences (half as many messages sent today alone as sent for all of DC13), I think this is relatively high signal-to-noise. There are only a few messages I've seen that IMHO would have been better directed to debconf-discuss instead of debconf-announce. In general, I think debconf-announce is the better place for announcing things like schedule changes (including new evening events) and events that aren't visible on the schedule (like drawings, assassins, etc). Some of these things would certainly be appropriate to put on debconf-discuss instead, if only they were done with more lead time. Maybe we should try to get better about announcing with enough lead time? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
