[OLPC_Boston] Boston-area pilots: pushing communications to this public list

[Mel Chua]

Hi, folks --

There's been some confusion lately about the status of local Boston-area 
pilots, so I'm hereby instituting a new policy for emails about it that 
cross my inbox:

1. Unless explicitly requested in the email's first line, all emails I 
receive regarding Boston-area grassroots pilots news/arrangements/stuff 
will be forwarded immediately to the olpc_boston mailing list with a 
"please forward this to the list in the future" message addressed to the 
sender.

2. I will not answer any questions myself about Boston-area grassroots 
pilots unless the message has been sent to 
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc_boston.

The intent is to make the olpc_boston mailing list the one-stop public 
gateway for local pilot conversations, and for all (or as close to all) 
pilot conversations to be public. Without transparency and public 
communications, a grassroots effort *will not work.* Please let me know 
if you have any comments on my newfound habit.

I will be going through my old emails to find private messages that 
should be posted to this list as well, and asking for permission to 
forward that information.

Cheers,

--Mel

PS: I'm fairly certain that the individuals I've sent this email to are 
also on the olpc_boston list, but wanted to make sure. ;)
