From oz at lindenlab.com Mon Apr 13 07:07:35 2020 From: oz at lindenlab.com (Oz Linden (Scott Lawrence)) Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2020 10:07:35 -0400 Subject: [opensource-dev] List migration next week Message-ID: <3a8b6cdb-5133-8e89-ca5d-df02467928fc@lindenlab.com> Heads up... As part of our migration to cloud services, we've decided to move this list to a newer platform. Here are the steps in that process: * On Thursday April 16th, the mailman service that drives this list now will be shut down and all list traffic halted. * The list archive will be preserved through that date and made available as a static web site to preserve history (the URL will be announced as soon as it's available). * A new Google Group list with the same name will be established as soon as we can (hopefully during the following week), and all current list subscribers will be sent an invitation to that new list. * The new list will have its own archive: the URL for both the old and new archives will be included in the footer added to each message by the list. If you have questions or concerns, reply to this thread. -- OZ LINDEN | VP Second Life Engineering email: oz at lindenlab.com | Scott Lawrence LINDEN LAB | Create Virtual Experiences -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Here is my question: why shuting down this list before the new list is created and all members are invited to it ?... It sounds like asking for troubles during the migration, and prevents communication for at least a week (if to follow what you are announcing above)... Regards, Henri.
