Hey I missed a vote on this but I'd like to express more thanks to those who put in a vote on it for me

I don't mind where it goes and happy to help out if it comes off the rails wherever it does end up

Alright, here is the final count after casting my own vote for
TechnologyWise and Linux Australia:

1. TechnologyWise: 4
2. Linux Australia: 3
3. Don Gould: 2
4. NZOSS: 0
5. Outlook Group: 0

And we have a winner with TechnologyWise!

Anyone who doesn't want to be migrated, you can discontinue your
mailing list membership here:
  https://list.waikato.ac.nz/postorius/lists/wlug.list.waikato.ac.nz/
NB: it requires the email address that you signed up with.

@TechnologyWise
Please contact me off-list regarding migration at fracpete at waikato
dot ac dot nz. Just to recap: the mailman server here at uni will be
decommissioned December 13th.

Thanks everyone!

Cheers, Peter
