Hi Tom,
I used SourceForge before to host projects (yes that's correct not just software development but collaborative project sites) in past which offers for free lists and many more, such as Web pages, SVN/Mercurial, blog and Wiki and many more. I reckon the licensing might be an issue for non FOSS projects but I believe in the case of openEHR that's a non issue?? I must admit the SVN is not as fast and there's limited administration capability but hey it's still great value for nothing. Plus the platform also allows for 'donations' which I think might create few bucks to look after things like administration etc. until an appropriate funding mechanism becomes available. Cheers, -koray From: openehr-technical-bounces at openehr.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Beale Sent: Friday, 20 January 2012 1:31 a.m. To: Openehr-Technical; For openEHR clinical discussions Subject: openEHR mailing lists - moving there is an urgent need to move the openEHR community mailing lists from their current location at CHIME, UCL to another location. We have now researched commercial options for handling mailman lists, and have found a number of suitable providers. In all cases, we would move the archives of all lists, as well as automatically resubscribing all members of all lists. For most of these offerings, it looks as if we will have to change list address, i.e. openehr-technical at openehr.org<mailto:openehr-technical at openehr.org> will become openehr-technical at lists.openehr.org<mailto:openehr-technical at lists.openehr.org>. The consequences of this are (assuming the automatic resubscription): * taking part in new discussion threads should work normally * responding to existing threads, containing the original list address, will probably not work (unless we make redirection of mail to xxx at openehr.org<mailto:xxx at openehr.org> => xxx at lists.openehr.org<mailto:xxx at lists.openehr.org> work) * any saved copies of openehr list addresses will be wrong. Usually people don't rely on such things for mailing lists, so this should not be a big problem. for the moment at least, the lists.openehr.org and openehr.org domains will be in different places. The solution above appears to be the only one available at the moment, and costs money, unless an academic institution in the openEHR network wants to offer to host mailing lists. This move is part of a larger move of openEHR's online presence out of UCL. It appears that for most things (SVN, Jira, Atlassian, website), paid online hosting will be the way to go, unless there are academic institutions interested in taking on the job. These changes will mean a) some (hopefully small) upheavals in the user experience, and b) some costs that need to be covered. I would think the board would be interested in any help on the second score. - thomas beale __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6808 (20120119) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6811 (20120120) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
