Dear IoTivity Community,

 

Due to scheduling conflicts, the migration of the IoTivity mailing lists to the 
Groups.io service has been rescheduled to Wednesday, May 9 from 9:30 - 11am 
PDT. I have checked with key stakeholders and they agreed with this date, but 
please let me know by early next week if you have any concerns or questions 
before I confirm the May 9th transition. Included below are the details about 
the migration again for your reference.

 

Best regards,

Aja Murray

OCF Staff

 

 

Moving to Groups.io service and migrate existing mailing list archives and user 
lists, including user mail delivery preferences and those with extra 
permissions such as moderator or owner status. 

 

During the migration window you will still be able to access the archives, 
however the delivery of messages to the mailing lists will be delayed during 
this window until after the migration of the archives and list members are 
complete. We will turn off new list signups during the migration window, then 
this functionality will be restored once it is complete.

 

FAQs

What are the key differences between Mailman and Groups.io?

*       Groups.io has a modern interface, robust user security model, and 
interactive, searchable archives
*       Groups.io provides advanced features including muting threads and 
integrations with modern tools like GitHub, Slack, and Trello
*       It also has optional extras like a shared calendar, polling, chat, a 
wiki, and more
*       Groups.io uses a concept of subgroups, where members first join the 
project “group” (a master list), then they choose the specific “subgroup” lists 
they want to subscribe to. 
*       One of the nice features of Groups.io is that you log in once, and then 
use the My Groups dropdown in the top menu and easily move between the lists 
that you are participating in without logging in to each of them separately.

How is the experience different for me as a list moderator or participant?

*       In many ways, it is very much the same. You will still find the main 
group at your existing URL and sub-groups equate to the more focused mailing 
lists based on the community’s needs. 

Groups.io’s simple but highly functional UI that will make the experience of 
moderating or participating in the community discussions more enjoyable.
