Dear folks,
I have been thinking about the 2015 reunion, and one of the first thoughts that comes to mind is keeping our mailing list safe, secure, and functional ... and growing, as we continue outreach to Doc-era alums we haven't yet reached, or who haven't yet been able to attend recent reunions.
We've been lucky so far; although my job at the Wikimedia Foundation ended in October 2010, my friends at WMF have graciously allowed me to keep the mailing list running since then (as you can see by this email). But WMF is now about to undergo a change of leadership, and it seems prudent to think about migrating this mailing list to a new platform while we have time to do it gracefully and completely.
Right now I'm thinking of moving it to a Google Groups mailing list -- I've had a little bit of experience with them. As soon as I decide where we're going next, I'll want to get current (best) email addresses from each of you, plus email addresses from folks we know that we haven't been in touch with recently.
I'll put out a call for updated information as soon as I know more.
Mike
P.S., In my new job I'm turning in to a world traveler -- I'll be spending at least a couple of weeks in North Africa this year!
Makes sense Thanks for your "stewardship" of the list
