Phil,
A mailing list focused for Academics is rather different from a regional mailing list
focused on informal get-togethers and working towards having remote hubs as and
when desired. I'd rather see a bit of common understanding and desire for such
a mailing list from a group of folks - perhaps after a side-meeting or such?
I've been thinking about it, but it feels like a different type of group to me.
Obviously, I'm happy to hear other thoughts and opinions.
Regards,
Alia

Don't know about anyone else, but it sounds like a great idea to me!
We have a couple of new hubs starting up in the U.S. - actually, in the Boston area! So, you guys from MIT may be interested in that one.
People are starting to form email lists for the regional groups. So, maybe you want to start one as well.

Alia has been approving the regional ones. I am copying her to get her opinion on the affinity groups.
Thanks,
