  • New: UTOS “announce” mailing list

    By admin

    The Utah Open Source Foundation is proud to announce a new mailing list, announce@utos.org.

    The idea behind this mailing list is to simplify the announcements that UTOS provides to the community.  While we do a fair bit on our blog, we’d like to keep the mailngs going, but it has become complex to send mail to each Local User Group (LUG) every time we need to advertise an event or announce something.  In addition, sending mail to more and more LUGs will make it difficult as we grow the free and open source community in Utah and the Mountain West.

    Therefore, we are going to be moving all of our announcements and news to the official Utah Open Source “announce” mailing list.

    It is easy to sign up for this list, just visit our mailing list page and add yourself.  Here’s the link:

    http://mail.utos.org/mailman/listinfo/announce

    There will be a few announcements for this list sent to the individual LUG mailing lists.  I also suspect that every so often there will be reminders for those who are new to the community.  Beyond that, we plan to try to send email just to the UTOS announce list.

    Please feel free to invite your fellow nerds and those you think might benefit from activities that we promote.

    That is all.

  • Announcing an announcement list for announcements

    Mailing lists can be a pain in the butt, especially when discussions spiral into topics about which pizza delivery company is best, which text editor is best, which Linux distribution is best, which caffeinated beverage is best, etc.

    We at Utah Open Source (UTOS) know you work hard day in and day out and deserve a break from the hardship of having to deal with meaningless discussions about what’s best. We give you something better — perhaps the best mailing list ever: utos-announce. We created this list so we can mail out announcements about upcoming UTOS events, but you can use it too, to announce anything you’ve got coming up… well, as long as it has something to do with open source in Utah.

    Subscribing to the utos-announce list is simple: Go to < http://utos.org/mailman/listinfo/utos-announce >, enter your e-mail address, your name (optional), a password (also optional), and select the Subscribe button. If you’ve followed these instructions so far without making any mistakes or being distracted by a flamewar continuing on one of the other mailing lists you’re subscribed to, a confirmation message will be sent to your e-mail address with instructions on how to confirm your subscription. Follow those instructions (They’re real, real simple… like “click on this” simple.) and you’ll be ready to receive amazing, exciting announcements!

    Subscribing to the utos-announce list is a great way to stay informed about the latest developments of the upcoming UTOSC conference. Find out who the keynote speakers will be before the story is aired on the local evening news. Learn what exciting schwag and promotions conference sponsors will be offering in their booths. Get the low-down on entertainment options while you’re attending the Utah Open Source Conference. Ahhh… the possibilities are endless.

    What? You’re still here? Go subscribe already!

  • Weekly Meeting Posts

    As part of the Utah Open Source goals to help every LUG (Local User Group) grow, UTOSF plans to provide timely reminders to all who are interested about when, where and the topic for each of the LUGs we track.

    In addition to this feature, UTOSF will also be providing an announcement service for podcasts of LUG meetings that were streamed and recorded.

    This service should start around the beginning of February 2008 and hopefully provide simple, yet easy to read posts with all of the details needed.

    If your group is not listed on the current UTOSF Groups page, or want your meetings streamed and recorded, please leave a comment, or contact clint At utosf (dot) org and we’ll get it added.

    Cheers,

    Clint Savage
