Sorry to email again on this topic. You are focusing on the who sends the email for the committee. That's not my point and I think your tact for soliciting for Outreachy Organizer role makes sense. However, even after the committee coordinates the content and defines who sends the email (which the coordinator sounds good), there have been restrictions on using [email protected]. I'm not sure who owns or approves content sent to the alias but what I'm saying is we should coordinate that and find out more. Who approves it or does it just send to all the private@ PMC addresses which will trigger their moderation? Does it include the incubator, etc? Anyone know who we can ask more information?
