The intent is that this would go to committ...@apache.org - a list to which all committers are subscribed. There's no other list where we can actually reach the audience I'm targeting - the very committers who are less and less engaged with the larger Foundation with each passing year. Making this a separate newsletter mailing list would completely defeat the purpose of the mailing. We also send board meeting minutes to this list, notifications of upcoming events, notices of surveys, and various other messages that go to the entire committership, without explicit mentions of ways to opt out, other than the standard unsubscribe header. I'm hoping that if we make this a regular thing, the shotgun-style messages to the list will decrease, and, rather, be included in a regular, predictable monthly mailing, thus *reducing* rather than increasing traffic on that list. Do you feel that an explicit opt-out mechanism is needed for this? -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
