Codrina, <br>
excuse me if my comment seemed directed at you. I was just trying to
say that the mail itself looked paranoid and uninformed. You are
perfectly right to make this list aware, so please don't get me
wrong. <br>
<br>
And in many aspects the concern is perfectly valid. In German lay
sending unsolicited mass Email communication is to people requires
to request for the consent *prior* to sending the content. <br>
<br>
Sigh. <br>
<br>
We can always claim that we have their mail address from the Web but
once the machinery is rolling it is always a pain. <br>
<br>
Not sure what to do. We'll find a solution. <br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Arnulf<br>

<br>
For us it presents a major problem because we cannot use MailChimp
to<br>
organize the sponsor outreach. I am currently evaluating other
options.<br>
<br>
But if we really take this serious then we cannot send any mail to<br>
anybody at all if we must first solicit for their approval. This
is<br>
ridiculous - as many have confirmed including Paul Ramsey, Sanghee
Shin,<br>
Ian Edwards, Puneet Kishor, Jeroen Ticheler, Daniel Morissette
and<br>
others. So from all that I can tell the large majority is fine
with<br>
sending out Mails to people for sponsorship.<br>
<br>
Currently Jody Garnett is even proposing that OSGeo use Location
Tech's<br>
mail list to send out information regarding OSGeo's relation to
LT. That<br>
list contains 120 thousand recipients! I'd really like to see<br>
announcements of FOSS4G go there too! Let's see what will become
of this<br>
.<br>
<br>
What do others think?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Arnulf<br>
