It’s not my favorite platform, but I’ve recently had discussions with a handful of students that they don’t even know what an email list is. The new Telegram group is getting a lot of discussion, even if it’s been mostly about how to set up Telegram groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Michele<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Michele Tobias, PhD<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Geospatial Data Specialist<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>DataLab: Data Science & Informatics<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>UC Davis Library <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>370 Shields Library<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>(530)752-7532<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:mmtobias@ucdavis.edu"><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0563C1'>mmtobias@ucdavis.edu</span></a><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>ORCID: </span><a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2954-8710"><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Noto Sans",sans-serif;color:#0563C1;background:white'>0000-0002-2954-8710</span></a><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Noto Sans",sans-serif;color:#494A4C;background:white'> </span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Pronouns: she, her, hers<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Board <</span><a href="mailto:board-bounces@lists.osgeo.org"><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>board-bounces@lists.osgeo.org</span></a><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Regina Obe via Board<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, September 7, 2022 11:59 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Jody Garnett' <</span><a href="mailto:jody.garnett@gmail.com"><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>jody.garnett@gmail.com</span></a><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>>; 'Pierre Cardinal' <</span><a href="mailto:pierre.cardinal@sympatico.ca"><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>pierre.cardinal@sympatico.ca</span></a><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>><br><b>Cc:</b> </span><a href="mailto:board@lists.osgeo.org"><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>board@lists.osgeo.org</span></a><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Board] Mailing lists interface<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>I’m not familiar with the benefits of Mailman 3 over Mailman 2. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>There has been recent discussion about the difficulty some people have with using mailing lists.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Many people seem to prefer a forum like system over a mailing list system.
