Hi.
If someone wants to start an alternate group with a different logo, that's
dandy. If someone wants to take over full maintainership of linuxchix,
you're more than welcome to choose a new logo. I've been trying to find a
new maintainer for the project for, oh, a year now on-and-off, and no o

Here's the deal:
The LinuxChix lists are now managed by a system called "mailman" instead
of majordomo. They are also hosted on a new system. All of this is
good. On the other hand, some stuff has changed.
The list of stuff that has changed and how this effects you is available

I hate to have to do this, but it seems like it's time for the "friendly

Hi.
I just thought I'd send out a quick reminder that the Ottawa LinuxChix

subscribed to it yet.
