I know that the information is not always that apparent. That is why<br>
locally in PDX-OSGeo and through email I try to let as many people<br>
know as possible. Hopefully these people learn and teach others.<br>
<br>
As OSGeo expands beyond mostly developers into education, conferences,<br>
users, etc, the processes should maybe be revised or greater efforts<br>
to included everyone in the processes.<br>

<br>
Not that I know of. I think it is mostly the OSGeo do-ocracy way;<br>
once a ticket is entered, if some SAC member thinks it is a reasonable<br>
request, has time, access, skills, and desire to do it, then they do<br>
it and close the ticket. SAC operates as other OSGeo committees so I<br>
guess if really needed, SAC would meet and vote but from what I've<br>
seen, that is rarely needed. I certainly don't see why that would be<br>
needed for what appears to be a routine reasonable email alias<br>
request.<br>
<br>
Here are some email list creation guidelines which may be able to be<br>
extrapolated to general SAC guidelines.<br>

<br>
Yes, hopefully many people will learn from this email exchange and<br>
spread it to others. Right now the default method is to contact Jeff<br>
and have Jeff take care of everything. That method works but isn't<br>
really fair to Jeff or anyone who wants to request something.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Eli<br>
