[governance] Mailing list moved - PLEASE UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS BOOK

[Jeremy Malcolm]

I'm pleased to announce that the governance mailing list has now finally been moved onto our own server.  It operates exactly as before.  The new email address to send mail to the list is:

governance at lists.igcaucus.org

The new web interface for the mailing list is:

http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance

All the archives from the old list are there (with the possible exception of a few of the latest ones, which I'll move over once traffic on the old list stops).  There are even a few functions that we didn't have before that we do have now, like password synchronisation between our website and mailing list.

The new server has been under testing for about the last two weeks, and all the initial problems seem to have been resolved now.  For the techies, it is a Xen-based virtual server running Ubuntu 11.10, Nginx, Sympa and OpenLDAP, with all of our old web files simply copied over in situ with minimal tweaking.

If someone wants to help with administration of the server, they can contact the coordinators who (for the first time!) have an email address, coordinators at igcaucus.org.  If someone wants to donate to offset the hosting costs, they can use Paypal to send money to that email address too (though it is understood that some people have ethical problems with Paypal, as I do too).

I don't think you'll experience any problems as I've tested everything rather thoroughly before switching over, but if you do, let me know.
