and I just submitted my talk proposal for clojureD

:information_desk_person:

hi everyone, we're talking of moving the Clojure Berlin mailing list to http://Clojureverse.org

right now there are two google groups, one unused and one barely used

- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/clojure-user-group-berlin

- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/berlin-clojurians

the idea would be to close both of these and invite people to a new list on http://Clojureverse.org

we also have this slack channel, and the meetup group messages

true, I think a mailing list is a good complement to a chat channel

I had forgotten about the meetup message board to be honest

although it doesn't seem like many people look at those

probably because everyone has forgotten all about it

seems there are some diverging opinions. Which is good main proposed options so far, close everything except the meetup board, or close the meetup board as well and move to clojureverse

we'll talk about it with people on Wednesday so grab me or @pesterhazy or @martinklepsch at the meetup if you have feels about this

to be honest I'm not sure if there is still a role for a traditional mailing list in the age of slack. Personally I appreciate having a slower lower traffic medium that I can subscribe to. The question is if we can get a critical mass to make it a living thing, nobody likes abandoned boards

some of the things I imagine a mailing list to be good for

follow up on the meetups, posting slides and adding input on talks announcements of local events, e.g. clojurebridge call for participants/coaches people asking for feedback on projects that they prefer to do in a smaller local community first
