<br>
Any chance you can get up a dedicated mailing list for Everything Open?<br>
It would mean you could post these updates there instead of to the<br>
Linux Australia lists, so only people interested in them receive them.<br>
<br>
Currently I'm getting two copies of every message (because they are<br>
sent to both the linux-aus list and the announce list) but there's no<br>
way I can unsubscribe from them without removing myself from the Linux<br>
lists entirely.<br>
<br>
We've had this issue in the past with some other conferences too, where<br>
the organisers are understandably excited about sharing what's<br>
happening, but forget that not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for<br>
such frequent updates on the minutiae of an upcoming conference!<br>
<br>
So I apologise for coming across as negative, but it would be much<br>
appreciated if you could have a dedicated Everything Open list that<br>
people can choose to subscribe to if they would like the regular<br>
updates, and then posts to the Linux lists could be limited to just the<br>
occasional major events (like announcing the conference and existence<br>
of the new list, and perhaps another reminder before ticket sales<br>
close), so those who are less interested don't get peppered with quite<br>
so many messages.<br>
<br>
Sorry for being today's grump but hopefully you understand :)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Adam.<br>
