<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Nick, can we
add Communications to the AGM agenda? It seems to me that we
have too many (underused) communication channels at the moment
and that there is merit in the newsletter proposal that Steven
made. I'd be happy to be involved in that if that's what is
decided. But we should also consider what other options are
available for communications too</div>

<div>While we were preparing for FOSS4GUK we talked about the
possibility of building a mailing list to send infrequent
newsletters to people who attended our events but might not
want to follow this list. This would help us market to
potential attendees and sponsors.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I undertook to review the free tiers of several of the
commercial services. I did not consider any self hosted
solutions as I don’t have the skills to stand something
like that up, but if anyone is willing to do that feel
free to put your hand up!</div>

<div>Here are the best options that I found:</div>

<ul>
<li>Zoho is free for up to 2k contacts and 6k emails per
month but has no segmentation <a

class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://www.zoho.com/campaigns/pricing.html?src=dd</a></li>
<li>Brevo (formerly Send in Blue) offers unlimited
contacts but only 300 emails per day (so would require
batching somehow) and includes segmentation <a

<li><br>
</li>
<li>Sender looks good 2,500 free contacts and 15,000
sends per month, includes segmentation. They also
offer a PAYG model where we pay £4.68/1000 emails if
we need the advanced features but only a few times per
year <a href="https://www.sender.net/pricing/"
