[OSGeo-UK] OS-Geo option to Mailing lists to discourse migration. Was: UK Digest, Vol 168, Issue 2

Tue Feb 6 13:23:00 PST 2024

I am a totally passive lurker on the mailing list, but do find various snippets useful for my work, both tactically and strategically.

I am reading from a government corporate laptop which cannot access Discourse, and it is highly unlikely to in the future.

So, whatever is decided, mailing list digests, or similar, would be  essential for me.

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.
