[Foss4g2008loc] Potential Exhibitors and Sponsors

Wed Jan 23 13:31:13 EST 2008

Looking over the list now, reminded me that last year we had a  
"private" mailing list for discussing more sensitive issues like  
contact lists, etc.  It may be best to not circulate the full list of  
contacts in a public forum like this list - as it could be mined.   
What do others think?  Do we have a private list already set up  
somewhere where these kinds of attachments can go?
