3.... Debian platform. Yes deploying mailman to just keep consistent would make more sense -- Don Gould5 Cargill PlaceRichmond 8013Christchurch, New ZealandMobile/Telegram: + 64 21 114 0699www.bowenvale.co.nz -------- Original message --------From: Peter Reutemann <fracpete(a)gmail.com> Date: 13/11/24 1:45 pm (GMT+12:00) To: wlug List <wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz> Subject: [wlug] mailing list alternatives Hi everyoneHere is a list of all the potential options for having the WLUGmailing list continue in some form after the University of Waikatowill shut down their mailman instance next month:1. TechnologyWise would support us and host it at Catalyst (Wellington)Type: unspecified (since general hosting, could be mailman?)Comment: TW ran the BOP LUG that way2. Linux Australia (https://lists.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo)Type: mailman (open-source)Comment: not yet contacted whether they'd be open to it3. Don GouldType: unspecified (has FLOSS platform, so could be mailman)4. NZOSSType: discourse (open-source, at community.iridescent.nz)Comment: unlikely to migrate archives5. Outlook Groups optionType: MS Outlook (proprietary)Comment: just email distribution, probably no archivesIn terms of WLUG list archives...I've experimented with hypermail(https://github.com/hypermail-project/hypermail) and was able to turnthe 53MB mbox file containing all our posts from the last 25 yearsinto 183MB of HTML. That way, we can at least ensure that the oldcontent doesn't get lost completely.I also talked to Daniel Lawson, who's hosting the old WLUG website andwiki. Though he is not keen on managing mail (bit of a nightmarenowadays according to him), he'd be willing to host the HTML versionof the archives.Please reply to this post with your preferred option(s) by Saturdaynight (e.g., "1" or "1 3 4"). On Sunday, I will then create a finaltally (hopefully).Thanks again for your suggestions!Cheers, Peter_______________________________________________wlug mailing list -- wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz | To unsubscribe send an email to wlug-leave(a)list.waikato.ac.nzUnsubscribe: https://list.waikato.ac.nz/postorius/lists/wlug.list.waikato.ac.nz
