ubuntu-us-tn Gaining Admin Access to Loco Mailing List

[Zach Gibbens]

    Actually it's worse than 5 months, Dec. 24 2008 meeting we were 
starting this with attempts to contact a few people, we were attempting 
to contact tideline via the point of contant info in the wiki (which was 
to the best of our knowledge current) we lost focus & direction for a 
time being
    (w4ett had gone missing, we attempted to contact him, he responded 
after awhile (Health issues complicated things, no action was taken in 
removing him due to his reason & as it turned out, was actually helping 
the LoCo by approving new & renewing members, which somehow the rest of 
us missed & did help us stay active enough to keep focus & lead to this 
desire to straighten out this mess)
    we had attempted to contact an admin (unrelated to the mailing list, 
& not Tideline but none the less relevant for the background) we 
received a less than desirable reply, which summing it up was no longer 
willing to help.
    after perusing this again (the first round of emails were seeking 
involvement, the current set was requesting admin access to the mailing 
list) as stated below, we were willing to have him as an admin too at 
that time, however this uncooperative position led to the loco 
leadership council to have the currently elected leadership manage it.

(Just thought I should give a more detailed background, w4ett explained 
it in great detail, but I thought that we've actually been trying to 
reach him further back & the only replies we receive are due to a 
non-member in a position to deal with the issue, to my count that's one 
email since December 2008 (when I got involved here) & further back on 
w4ett's count)

    During the past 5 months, we of the Ubuntu-US-TN team have been
    reconstituting our LoCo leadership and have Elected new team
    leadership due to the extended absence of our former leader Tideline
    (Michael Berger) Except for answering several emails from Joe Barker
    joeb454 in early July, he has been totally  absent from all aspects of
    our team since August  2008.

    In July, Tideline was asked to relinquish admin  of the mailing list
    by Joeb454, but he has not done so. (See Attached Email) .  On 26
    August a Tn Loco Leadership Council meeting was conducted and it was
    decided that since Tideline had not responded to the previous emails,
    we would ask the ubuntu lists administrators or Loco Council to grant
    us access to the list directly.

    Mike,

    I think you need to add or pass adminstrative permissions to w4ett.
    O can't say I have much experience with lists.

        Please make any chages that need to be done to make this smooth.

        Or do I need to make the mailing list changes?  I can certainly
        do that.  I will check.

        Mike

            Sorry to bother you again,

            Just a quick question about the mailing list, I've had
            mentions from team members about the mailing list
            administration. I was just hoping that somebody else
            could be added as an administrator of the list (possibly
            w4ett as trustee, hence the CC) or some sort of agreement
            reached.

            I totally appreciate how real life can get in the way, and I
            don't want to make it seem like we're trying to force you
            out of any roles (seeing as this is the 2nd email
            in 2 days). Just trying to ensure a smooth running for LoCo
            teams.

            Regards,

            Joe
