Please read: moving launchpad-users to lists.launchpad.net

[Matthew Revell]

Hello,

Moving launchpad-users to lists.launchpad.net
----------------------------------------------

In the next week, we're going to start hosting launchpad-users
on Launchpad itself, rather than at lists.canonical.com.

We'll make this move as smooth as possible but you may need to
change your email filtering and perhaps resubscribe to the list.


What we're going to do
-----------------------

1. Create a new launchpad-users team and associated mailing list
   in Launchpad.

2. Subscribe all existing launchpad-users subscribers to the new
   version of the list.

3. Close the launchpad-users list hosted at lists.canonical.com.

4. Copy the launchpad-users archive to Launchpad and keep the old
   archives in place, so as not to break any inbound links.

In the next couple of days I'll send an email to this list giving
you the exact date of when we plan to make the change.


We'll move your subscription for you
-------------------------------------

When we move launchpad-users to lists.launchpad.net, we'll also
move everyone's subscription.

To make this a smooth as possible, you'll need to ensure that
your launchpad-users subscription email address is registered in
your Launchpad account.

To add that address to your account, visit:

https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+editemails

If you don't yet have a Launchpad account, you can create one at:

https://launchpad.net/+login

As soon as you're subscribed to the new version, Launchpad will
send you a welcome email. If you don't receive that email, you
may need to re-subscribe manually. I'll send instructions on how
to do that in my next email.


Changes you'll need to make
----------------------------

After the move, when you want to post to the list you'll need to
send mail to:

 launchpad-users at lists.launchpad.net

You may also need to change the rules you use to filter email
from the launchpad-users list. If you presently filter using
email headers, you'll need to update your filters to change
occurrences of "lists.canonical.com" to "lists.launchpad.net".

For example, the List-Id header will change from:

List-Id: Discussion for Launchpad users <launchpad-users.lists.canonical.com>

to:

List-Id: Discussion for Launchpad users <launchpad-users.lists.launchpad.net>


Any questions
--------------

If you have any questions about how this will work, please reply
to me here. I'll send further details, such as how you'll manage
your launchpad-users subscription from within Launchpad, in my
next email.

Thanks,
