<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I'm pretty ambivalent about this, but if OSGeo are shifting the backend of their mailing lists into Discourse then there must be a reason. If it didn't generate additional work for the UK organising team then I say that it's better to follow the lead of the central OSgeo group rather than not. And it looks as if we can use it via email (similar to this list) or make use of the online functionality if wanted. So, options.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, 13 Jan 2024 at 09:56, Nick Bearman via UK <<a href="mailto:uk@lists.osgeo.org">uk@lists.osgeo.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<p>Hi UK list,</p>
<p>Building on our discussion about communication options at the
AGM, OSGeo are offering the option to migrate mailing lists (like
this one!) to Discourse. <br>
</p>
<div>Currently this is optional and
there has been some discussions on the [OSGeo-Discuss] list about
the pros and cons etc. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't know Discource and don't
have any strong views currently.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Comments from all are welcome :-)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes,<br>
Nick.<br>
