I think we should first look into the target audience. I don't see "dev" in the list name and I suspect non-developers people subscribe in hope to get "important announcements". I however like being informed of projects and clients releases. They don't happen often and they are interesting to me as an operator (projects) and consumer of the OpenStack API (project clients). I unfortunately don't care much about oslo libraries which are internal projects consumed by the OpenStack developers as dependencies of the other major projects. Receiving ~15-25 per week for such releases is too much for me. If people care about releases, maybe there should be a openstack-release list where you can subscribe to tags you care about. On a side note, I subscribed to openstack-security in hope to receive security notices but instead they are sent to openstack-announce and lost among all those release notices. However, if we move security notices to openstack-security and release notices to openstack-release, I don't know what's left to read about in openstack-announce except the "OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter". Not much strong suggestion on my side. Maybe we should restrict it to security notices and major project milestone and stable releases. -- Mathieu __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
