RoundCube mailing lists...

RoundCube developers, users and list lurkers,

the machine running the RC mailing lists and archive has just been down 
for a little over 24 hours. This happened after what was supposed to be 
routine 10 minutes downtime while moving to out new server-room. Needles 
to say, things didn't go as planed.

Apparently the Linux ext3 file system does not handle large folders all 
that well, and I had one with at least a million files in it. This 
pissed off fsck.ext3 to the point where it started to move these files 
to lost+found.

Long story short, I no longer trust that machine (or any machine with an 
ext3 file system on it) to do any important work, and one of it's most 
important tasks is the RC mailing lists and archive.

So; as I don't really have the time to do mailing list maintenances 
these days, I'd like to ask for someone to take over the running/hosting 
  of our lists.

The 3 lists require very little resources to run. Some stats:

announce <at> lists.roundcube.net:
- 1958 subscribers
- 1 to 2 messages/month

dev <at> lists.roundcube.net:
- 629 subscribers
- 5 to 15 messages/day

The RoundCube mailing lists are moving...

RoundCube developers, users and lurkers,

the time has come to move the RoundCube mailing lists to their new home.

I had an overwhelming response to my request for help in taking over the 
lists, and I want to thank everyone who volunteered their time and 
services. There's a lot of goodwill in our community :-)

In the end, we (Thomas, Till and myself) ended up asking Jason Fesler to 
take over the lists. Jason has significant experience with Internet 
e-mail in general and mailing list management in particular, and we're 
all happy to welcome him to the team.

There will be some (relatively minor) changes to how the lists work, but 
I'll leave that for Jason to explain once the lists are safely moved.

Subscription and unsubscription will be blocked until the move is 
completed. If this is a problem for anyone feel free to contact me 
directly at bob <at> db.org (or failing that, postmaster <at> sysedata.no which is 
unfiltered).

I think that's it - Jason; take it away :-)

	Bob

Re: The RoundCube mailing lists are moving...

WHEN will the lists be moving?  And will there be any down-time during 
the move?
