James: We do have our own mailing lists as well. The point in posting here is to address and engage with PSF members specifically, since many of our attendees are PSF members.
We post announcements since we want to keep people up to date with what's happening and not miss anything. As mentioned, I'd love to see more such announcements from other conferences as well, but many of them unfortunately don't appear to have the PSF members on their radar.
