Phil,
A mailing list focused for Academics is rather different from a regional
mailing list
focused on informal get-togethers and working towards having remote hubs as
and
when desired. I'd rather see a bit of common understanding and desire for
such
a mailing list from a group of folks - perhaps after a side-meeting or such?
I've been thinking about it, but it feels like a different type of group to
me.
Obviously, I'm happy to hear other thoughts and opinions.
Regards,
Alia

Phil,
In addition to geographic affinity groups, there might be a utility to
other community groups. In particular academics.
Don't know about anyone else, but it sounds like a great idea to me!
We have a couple of new hubs starting up in the U.S. - actually, in the
Boston area! So, you guys from MIT may be interested in that one.
People are starting to form email lists for the regional groups. So,
maybe you want to start one as well.

Alia has been approving the regional ones. I am copying her to get her
opinion on the affinity groups.
Thanks,
Nalini
