Hello everyone,

We've created a new mailing list for the folks at your projects who care about community management, outreach and news. We're asking that the right points of contact join this list for a few reasons:

- We've heard from many people that they'd like to hear more about the projects hosted at the OSL: what they're doing, how they're doing it and how the OSL enables their success

- We need to know who to contact when we'd like to ask for help from our hosted projects on creating a news story or spreading the word about an OSL campaign

For example, many of our hosted communities are not participating in Google Summer of Code this year, and we'd love to have your help in getting the word out that the OSL is a mentoring organization this year. This new mailing list is meant to allow us to ask for that help most easily, while not bogging down the inboxes of your developer and infrastructure teams.

Please take a moment to point your community folks to our new Communities mailing list [0] and ask them to subscribe. We promise the list will be low-traffic and the communications well targeted and useful.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me off-list. Chances are that you'll also see me in your project's IRC channel over the next few weeks, following up to get the right people from your project on board.
