Mailing List

Our mailing list is our most popular means of communication. You can come here for:

  • Meeting Chatter - The mailing list is home to the organisation that goes on behind the meetings. If you have an idea for a Talk/Demo let us know.
  • Linux Help and Support - Most questions posted to the mailing list are answered by other LOGIN members quickly and often accurately.
  • General Open Source Notices - If you find something that you think others may be interested in then post a link, keep us all informed.

To sign up to the Mailing List please visit http://ventex.net.au/mailman/listinfo/login_ventex.net.au

By default all new mailing list sign ups to the list are moderated, this is to avoid spam.

If you have any problems with the mailing list please email gnoronha@ventexwebdesigns.com.au. Don't forget to add login@ventex.net.au to the white-list in your anti-spam program.

While it is not enforced on this list, it would be considered good Netiquette not to top post http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post
