Hello metadatalibrarians listserv,
Hi, I'm Clay, I've been running the listserv for many years now (hosting
and administration), and I'm curious if anyone out there would be
interested in taking over.
For reasons unrelated to the listserv itself, I am aiming to leave the
hosting platform I've been on since 2001 (Dreamhost), and looking for
another solution altogether. I've had this in mind for years, and have
slowly ported and migrated content away, but our listserv migration is
what has kept me from leaving altogether.
The listserv runs on the open source GNU Mailman platform, which is
offered by numerous hosted solution providers these days. And while I've
looked into just opening up an account on one of those providers and
migrating from Mailman to Mailman to keep our archives preserved, I keep
thinking to myself, "maybe someone might be interested." I am no longer
actively involved in the GLAM community, and probably am not
contributing where others might be able to.
So if anyone might be interested in taking over ownership, including
hosting and administration, I'd be more than happy to collaborate toward
getting the list contents migrated (it will likely involve some
assistance from Dreamhost), and also updating any current webpages,
etc., for redirects.
Thanks for being a subscriber.
Clay
