Mike, I think what Kevin meant was, move SeaPIG to its own pages on GitHub Pages; I don't think he meant, we should merge groups.
I would like us to have a link on the seattlehacks site too. I'm ok with moving to a Google Group if it means less work for you. For me it's a pretty good tool. I'm not super happy with Google (and the threat of impending Google+) but it's not a big deal for me. cheers adam On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 3:32 PM, Mike Orr <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 3:07 PM, Kevin LaTona <[email protected]>wrote: > >> >> >> Not much mail comes across the seaPig list, so if a move to Google Groups >> makes it easier for you I would be in favor of the move. >> >> Also Carter Rabasa from Twilio just created a new Seattle based news >> website/feed on all things Seattle developer like. >> >> He is using Github and Jekyll to create the static pages and it's a >> pretty straight forward process to keep it going. >> >> http://seattlehacks.com/ >> >> http://seattlehacks.com/**submit/ <http://seattlehacks.com/submit/> >> >> >> >> Maybe it's time to consider moving away from the old website model and >> moving over to this kind of an idea. >> >> This way Mike you end not having to do all those server upgrades and it's >> free as well. > > > What do others think of this?
