If others wish to see announcements, and I can construct workable
filters, then this works for me.
Note that it is primary a signal-to-noise ratio issue for me. These
days, conference announcements overwhelm the actual discussion on the
list.
If you have some well-tested filters, then I would be interested in
seeing them.

Hi,
a long time ago there was a discussion about conference
announcements on the Clean-list. The result was that the majority of
people was interested in such announcements if they are on topic.
The topic was defined rather broad as 'interesting for functional
programmers in Clean'. As moderator I try to filter the messages
according to that rule. If a large number of subscribers of this
list wants to change that, I am happy to do so. Possible options:
a) messages on Clean and conferences possible of interest for people
interested in Clean (the current situation)
b) messages on Clean and conferences calls with a narrow scope (e.g.
Clean or 'functional programming' in the call)
c) only messages on Clean, no conference calls at all
Splitting the list in two where the moderator decides to which list
a messages goes seems technically not that easy. However, there is
the very low bandwidth Clean-announces.
Personally I have some mail filters on 'call for papers' and 'call
for participation' etc and I apply these before the filter on 'Clean-
list' this moves at least 90% of the calls from the Clean-List to
the appropriate cfp mailbox. For me this is an excellent solution.
The Clean-List is not diluted by the calls and I have the calls also
available. Will this solve your problem Philip?
Best regards,
Pieter

Or maybe split the mailing list in two different ones: an
announcement list for conferences/new clean versions/bugfixes and a
different one for discussing Clean (the language and/or the naming
of it).
With regards,

It seems these days that the vast majority of messages on the
Clean-List are conference announcements and the like, rather than
news and discussion of Clean. Since I am not interested in these
conference announcements, I am (regretfully) thinking of
unsubscribing. Before I do, I am just wondering if the mailing
list organizers have any plans to change the situation. (For
example, by requiring people to be subscribed in order to post,
and unsubscribing people who post such off-topic messages).
