Hello,
I just got another day-late-dollar-short message from Rob for
SLUG again (hi Rob!). I decided to examine the headers and noticed
that the message appears to have spent about 12 hours bouncing
around inside <rogue.codemeta.com>. I just wanted to make sure that
is expected.
The second is all too common. Depending on how often the approvers check
the queue, a message can wait a while. And in this case, the delay was
made worse by the fact that Rob's sending address was also not the
subscribed address for the discuss list (announce feeds into discuss).
So a SECOND approval was needed before it got to everybody.
The solution? Be consistent in your posting address (register multiple
addresses if you must), and have longer lead times on your announcements.

Here's my proposed solution:
1 month before meeting - make sure that meeting is posted on the
calendar (thank you Bruce & Ted) on the web page (aka wiki)
1 week before meeting - send the announcement to gnhlug-announce using a
standardized format which I can declare or we can discuss in a different
thread
1 day before the meeting - send a reminder to gnhlug-discuss
This should solve the immediate problem and provide the information in
intervals such that most types can plan accordingly (some need advance
notice, some need to be beaten over the head immediately before a
response is needed)
You don't know what your meeting is going to be a month in advance you
say? That's something that we'll need to talk about individually. To
Guy Pardoe, congratulations for being the only one to complete your
homework from Summer Summit 2005. To the other chapter chairs, I'm
still waiting for you to give me the name of your back-up so I can begin
helping you get into the above schedule, and eventually planning your
meetings 3 months in advance.
Have a great day!
