Hi Otto,
(I CC PR as there are a lot or PR questions involved.)
* Otto Kekäläinen otto@fsfe.org [2011-04-18 17:22:26 +0300]:
I just wanted to check about the press-release-xx-lists policy: is it OK that we from now on use fsfe-fi@ as a discussion list and press-release-fi@ as an announcement list? As an announcement list, the primary content is news and announcements in Finnish and only occasionally actual FSFE press releases in Finnish (despite the name press-release-fi)?
You can also sent announces to this list about activities in Finland. But I would suggest to only sent those news/announcements which are interesting for the press.
For other announcements I would create fi.fsfe.org like de.fsfe.org. Than people could subscribe to the RSS feed for Finnland (just checking with Nico if this is already possible).
Should we post to this list selected press releases in English that might concern Finns in some way, or should we just encourage people to subscribe press-release@fsfeurope.org? Or announce@? What is the difference with press-release@ and announce@ anyway?
For the newsletter we send out the EN version to press-release-fi@ if there is no Finnish translation available.
Nico, do we currently do the same for all the other press releases? (We should.)
In current settings, the poster is always press@fsfeurope.org. Can we change this to be the person who actually sent the mail? Could this list act as a hub for FOSS-announcements in Finland, and could we proxy (with moderation) announcements from other FOSS-organisations in Finland via this list to the FOSS-community in Finland?
I would keep press@fsfeurope.org, as in this case replies do not depend on one person, but on several people. But I would add a press contact section in the PR with contact details.
For the other questions Karsten has to answer, maybe together with team@.
In the beginning I intend to copy all subscribers of fsfe-fi@ to press-release-fi@ and after that promote to all FOSS-people in Finland to subscribe press-release-fi@. Actual press releases will be sent both to this list and a separate press contact list with about 470 media addresses in Finland.
How do you manage those 470 media contacts?
(I realise here are quite many questions, I should probably had asked them before the list was created. Feel free to forward this to some discussion list if the current policy needs discussion.)
Regards, Matthias
