[virtio-comment] Changes coming to this mail list system

I am very pleased to announce a new List Mail system will be implemented
for this list shortly.

The legacy list engine in use since 2003 will be replaced in December.  You
are receiving this message because you are a subscriber to the list
receiving this message.

This transition will provide significant improvements and will change how
you interact with your mail lists.  See below for more information about
the changes, the transition schedule and what you can do to help.

Changes to Expect

The new platform is built in a modern web environment and mail delivery
mechanism. with a number of new features to improve both your platform user
experience and ability to engage with the OASIS community.  Key features
include:


   -

   Mail systems that you can depend on!  The new tools support and comply
   with major deliverability and anti-spoofing standards.  This will eliminate
   many of the sending and deliverability issues your group may be experiencing



   -

   If you are on this public list in addition to Technical Committees, Open
   Projects, and other community engagement mail lists you can manage this
   experience in one cohesive package



   -

   All resources created in the legacy email system will be migrated and
   available cohesively with your new work in the new platform.  All URL links
   for assets in the old platform will redirect to the new location



   -

   After the migration you will be directed where to send future messages
   for this list and where to find the archives.



   -

   After the migration you will be required to create or login to an
   existing OASIS public community or member account to manage your
   subscriptions.  Legacy-style subscribe and unsubscribe email messages to
   the server will not be respected.



The Transition Schedule

Starting 14 December, there may be as much as several days of system
downtime. During the downtime you will not receive email messages sent to
this list or have access to the archive.

We will announce the timing specific as we get closer to the transition.

What You Should Do Now

If you no longer wish to subscribe to this list, send a message to

[listname]-unsubscribe@lists.oasis-open.org

Otherwise, watch for further messages in the coming days to include the new
list mailing address and archive location.

Feel free to contact me with any questions, and thanks for your patience
with the inevitable short-term inconvenience implementing these
improvements will bring.

Scott...

I've received off-list notification that this change is now postponed to
January -- can you please confirm? It is important for us to plan how we
are going to proceed with the 1.3 version of the virtio spec.  (And it
is of course also important for people reading those lists, who may not
have an account in the system.)

Yes,  the cut-over to the new system is now expected the first week of
January.  We've delayed the process, in part, because we've found ways to
shorten the downtime for the mail lists and are working on some of those
implementation steps now in the background while the legacy systems
continue to serve.  Of course, closing in on the holidays os an issue as
well factoring in the delay.

Two other notes:

I'll push the announcement to all other lists (non-member lists) this
morning.

The migration plan changes will better ensure messages sent during the
downtime will not be lost and the downtime will be less than we originally
expected.

Hope that helps,

Scott...
