[ALAC] [EURO-ALS] [LAC-ALS] [NA-ALS] Major Milestone Coming Up

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Just to clarify one point: There is no barrier to ALSes (or actually anyone
else) joining the main ALAC list - and speaking personally I hope very much
that many will choose to do so.

A big part of my desire to move the main ALAC mailing list over to our
server was so that the whole community could subscribe to it, and thereby
begin to have a real conversation between the committee and their
constituents, and I'm very glad to say that this seems to have really taken
off.
