hello everyone !
instead of prepending announcements of local interest with [OT]
(which it is not!), i'd like to propose the usage of a [local] or
[LOCAL] prefix to the subject followed by the area for which the
post is relevant, like:
Subject: [local] germany/ruhrgebiet linux audio meeting
this is common practice on c.o.l.a and many other world-wide forums,
and i think it makes sense.
in my personal opinion, meeting announcements such as the one posted
by marco should be encouraged and not sabotaged by the deadly d-key
trigger ("[OT]") :).
otoh, using [local] allows people to filter this out if they don't
want to see it.
just a suggestion, feel free to ignore me.
but if nobody raises objections, this recommendation will show up on
the list info pages rsn.
