Emails @openmandriva
Hi all
Do we agree, that email addresses @openmandriva.org could be given to any member, who requests this?
(limited volume, subject to availability, by getting the address member agrees to usage of email address strictly for good of OMA, in accordancy with general member and website rules).

I guess it's too soon for being able to manage it, but it make sense to give an @openmandriva.org address to member as a membership gift, after membership as been clearly defined and organized.

I agree that they should only be given out if needed. To be decided by the TC.

I guess rather than a mailbox, we could offer an alias.

I see that all of us (included me) agree not to give an address without restriction.
And I also think that this question comes too early mainly because we must specify the conditions of use.
However, I don't see very well why every member of the association could not have an address if some of us have one. Because, according to our statutes, a member is someone who contributes.
For me, it is everybody or nobody and it is hard to say nobody ...

We have been easy on people getting membership. I think it’s too early.
One idea to toss around is at a later date possibly create some kind of e-mail address for members that would be obviously less-official, like [email protected].
That’s not the best example, but you get the point. but if we should decide to do that, it should be done at a later date.

Or [email protected] to all members and [email protected] for people when representing OMA ?

Well, what if we rephrase it so: for the moment we agree, that active team members (that ARE members of OMA), could be given an alias (@openmandriva.org). The number of these emails is limited and alias is given to those, who could/would represent OMA to the outside world (this alias starts working as a promotion tool). Final decision stays with council. Those members, who feel need for such alias, please address Council.
Yes?

(in the future (or straight away, now) we could indeed differentiate it: @openmandriva.org is for representation of OMA, @member.openmandriva.org for members )

Discussion will be taken to next council meeting (Thursday 20th June, 14.00 UTC for final decision). Thanks everybody for supplying opinions.

Wayne, what would be the criteria to give or not give address to a member? If the person is a member, we assume he is trusted, right?
