Hallo zusammen,
bei der Durchsicht der FSFE-Mailinglisten fiel mir auf, dass diese Liste seit einiger Zeit leider kaum Aktivität erlebt. Das ist sehr schade.
Die ursprünglichen Moderatoren der Liste sind nicht mehr in der Stadt bzw. möchten nicht mehr als solche aktiv sein. Allerdings ist eine Liste ohne Moderation und sich-verantwortlich-fühlende Personen nicht wirklich zielführend.
Daher gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten:
1. Eine Person übernimmt die Moderation (technisch wie kommunikativ) dieser Liste und versucht, den Ball wieder ins Rollen zu bringen. Leipzig ist ja durchaus eine spannende Stadt, in der man viel zu Freier Software sagen und tun kann!
2. Wir schließen die Liste vorerst. Natürlich bietet die FSFE mit weiteren Listen wie fsfe-de@ und discussion@ [^1] weitere Listen zum Austausch an, und das Forum [^2] ist auch ein toller Platz für Diskussionen.
Wenn Euch Option 1. lockt, schreibt mir bitte direkt eine E-Mail (ich bin nicht auf leipzig@ aktiv). Ansonsten werde ich die Liste im Januar löschen.
Danke für Euer Engagement!
Viele Grüße Max

Hello,
We have noticed that the mailing list leipzig@lists.fsfe.org has been quite inactive since quite a while. This is undesirable because people interested in Free Software who try to get in touch with the community by signing up on a list will find a silent room.
You are the listed owner/moderator of this mailing list. Let's clarify how to proceed with this situation. There are multiple options. Please pick one of them *before 1 August 2019* and reply to this email:
You could try to start a few new discussions. Often, mailing list members are rather shy, especially new ones, and wait for topics to participate in. Is there something regarding Free Software going on in your country or the topic of the mailing list? Is there something interesting that is relevant for the members? Also check out the FSFE's news [^1] and events [^2], or the latest campaigns and activities to find matching topics.
If you don't have time to moderate and engage on the list any more, please try to find a successor. For example, you could ask other people on the mailing list. Please try to find a solution as soon as possible and share it with me so we can make the necessary changes.
You think the mailing list has become too inactive or obsolete to ever start it again? There is the option of creating a category on https://community.fsfe.org, our relatively new Discourse platform. There, building a community is easier because people don't have to join a mailing list but can just find your discussions at the first glance. Let me know if you prefer that, and I can help you set things up.
Nothing from the above makes sense to you? Well, we can also just delete the mailing list and optionally keep its archives. If you prefer this option, please do so carefully, announce it early, and also discuss it with other members of the mailing list. Also in this case, please get back to me.
Please note that if you do not reply before *1 August 2019*, we will have to delete the mailing list after a short notice to keep our systems in a maintained and clean state. This would be the saddest option, and I hope we can find a better solution together :)
Thanks for your contribution to Free Software and the FSFE community!
Best, Max
Dear list members,
Unfortunately I received no reply following my email asking about the future of this list. That leads to the conclusion that the discussion moved elsewhere, or interest otherwise got lost.
So for the sake of allowing people interested in Free Software to join active lists, and to do some housecleaning at the same time, I'll delete this list for the time being.
However, as written in my last email, there is plenty of opportunity to increase exchange again, e.g. via the open forum or the general discussion@ mailing list. You are more than welcome to engage again, and the FSFE will happily host group activities!
Wishing you all a good time, and hopefully see you around somewhere, somewhen.
Best, Max
