Re: Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022

Foundation members,

I know that this has been coming for a while but as a former contributor who generally just wants to keep tabs on the major changes and announcements, this particular change will mean that I probably don't keep tabs on anything.  There's no obvious replacement on 'discourse.gnome.org'.  The closest I can see is a 'community' category which is entirely too broad.  Entering the 'foundation-announce' tag, which is how I interpreted the information below, yields nothing.  Given the immense talents involved with Gnome, I'm sad that no one came up with a better solution than simply dropping foundation-announce.

Hi,

As we have been communicating during the past few months GNOME's Mailman platform is being decommissioned (python2 deprecation, major burden in managing lists spam). The deadline is currently set to the end of October 2022. Mailing list subscribers are invited to migrate to GNOME's Discourse instance [1]. Neil made sure [2] to create a set of tags you can re-use to initiate a new topic in the new platform, if a tag is missing please reach out to me directly.

Jehan (from the GIMP Team) kindly provided some instructions you can follow [3] in order to safely migrate your reading workflow to Discourse. The new platform supports several login methods including your GNOME Account and other major OpenID providers.

After the deadline of the end of October Mailman archives will remain alive in read only mode for posterity. If the mailing list was used behind an alias, please let me know so we can re-do the same setup but on Discourse instead.

Thanks,

P.S All the l10n lists are still pending code changes in damned-lies, the deadline to decommission those lists may slip by a week or two depending how soon those changes will be made available in DL codebase
