One of the projets I worked on was implementing Sympa to replace I don't remember what asxxx the mailing list software. It was chosen because of it's internationalisation and because of it's ease of use. VCN served individuals and non-profits for the very large part having zero technical inclination and from a large number of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Neither listmaster nor subscriber need know any command line kungfu. Everything about managing lists and subscriptions can be done through a web interface. I wasn't an sysadmin of sympa, but a listmaster with All The Powers, so I could learn the web interface to help VCN clients with the new software (both admins and subscribers) and to help them migrate their archives. So, I have no experience with the sysadmin side of sympa or any other list manager to be able to offer useful comparisons of it's ease to maintain. I put it forward, nevertheless, as a system to consider for NCF, as I believe the ease of use requirement is checked off. -- Znoteer znot...@mailbox.org To unsubscribe send a blank message to linux+unsubscr...@linux-ottawa.org To get help send a blank message to linux+h...@linux-ottawa.org To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org

I came here as a refugee from LUGs that were disappearing all around me. Thanks for letting me lurk. If the phoenix ressurects itself in some form with a mailing list/Fediverse identity, or something like that, please keep a list of our mailing list addresses (at least mine) so that you can let us know (at least me) if anything develops after this dissolution. VLUG in Victoria, for example, kind of melted into the then nascent Rasp Pi interest group. I think they still have the VLUG FQDN, but it's still a different Society.

I cannot see how that could apply to FOSS If the execs come from countries with authoritarian regimes that don't necessarily enjoy good relations with countries in which the GLP was developed and is enforceable, the execs may be worried about their OWN government revoking access to GPL'd software. I am not a foreign policy expert, except maybe of the armchair variety, so this is speculative in it's entirety.

Has anyone had experience with Sympa? I'm > considering that as a replacement for my mailing lists. I've hesitated to answer as I don't have experience from an administrator of Sympa, but as an "uber" admin (I don't remember the Sympa term. We're talking circa 2002 2003) of mailing lists. Maybe it was Master Administrator. I was hoping you would hear from more experienced voices. Anyway, I could do anything to any mailing list on the server that a list owner or admin could do to their own lists. My impressions were that it was HIGHLY configurable. IIRC, there are 4 types of lists depending on who can post and subscribe. You can get notifications for a gazillion things, again, iirc. Multilingual, though that may not be a concern for you. It was for the org I volunteered for. >From where I was standing it seemed like a nice package. I enjoyed the experience of using it. If you do go the Sympa route, I'd be interested in hearing your impressions, both as list admin and as sysadmin.
