What say you to openstack@xxxxxxxxxxxx or even > openstack-maint@xxxxxxxxxxxx? Maybe #fedora-openstack on Freenode too? I don't think we have yet hit the traffic level that justifies segmenting. Since September 1st there have only been 8 openstack threads on the cloud list. I also think there is a tremendous benefit in the wider visibility that the cloud sig list brings. If folks won't 'spam' the cloud list, I find it unlikely they'd spam the openstack list.

It's true that when everyone is responsible that no one is, but better to be too permissive than too restrictive. --David _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
