BerkeleyLUG Google Groups (list) - backup(s) & ... (possibly) migrate to ...

["Michael Paoli" <Michael.Paoli@cal.berkeley.edu>]

Submitted for your consideration ...

So, Google Groups, and BerkeleyLUG (and the Pi.BerkeleyLUG SIG thereof)
having list on Google Groups ... folks have differing opinions about if
it ought be/stay there, or move elsewhere (e.g. self-hosted list, such
as on mailman/mailman2/mailman3).

So ... your thoughts?

And ... list admin's can backup the existing Google Groups data,
and in form that can presumably be reasonably migrated to
something else.  Anyway, I have backed that up (and ought turn it
into a regular occurrence - though it may or may not be feasible to
fully automate that).

And also, if we wanted to, e.g. change that instead to a mailman managed
list (already have other mailman hosted lists on the same host that hosts
http[s]://[www.][pi.]berkeleylug.com/), could, e.g. migrate that to
mailman.  That would put it more in "our" control (and more out of Google's
control / out from under Google's thumb), and make it easier to, e.g.
backup.  In any case, the list postings are public, so at least that part
of it probably doesn't make a huge difference (at least if it also gets
backed up at least once in a while) ... but other considerations might
be more significant.

Anyway, so ... what say y'all?  Should we maybe setup a
survey or vote?  (or will only like about 2 or 3 folks on the list
vote anyway?).
