FOSS4G 2022 emails address

[lucadelu]

For the 2022 FOSS4G conference we need some email addresses, is it possible to have them using the foss4g.org domain?

We need one general (like 2022.info) one for the sponsor (like 2022.sponsor), and one for volunteer and travel grant (like 2022.grants)

Thanks a lot

This set up might not be that simple

#2511

Last year all the mail setups were done after calgary "ended".

At this moment in time, for example, sponsors at foos4g dot org at this moment in time goes to FOSS4G BA

I need to ask around.

I confirmed with Maria that the mails are inherited.

Currently for the foos4g.org mail service its been used amazon mail services Her comments about this service:

• Good for sending massive mails,
• Bad to receive them

In general its uncomfortable to use because of the bad part

Then it is a good time to start looking for an alternate mailing service.

She can give you access to info if you are going to start using it.

But you can start looking for alternate mail service.

Ok I read all the old discussion so it seems to be quite complex.

Our alternative idea is google but it seems that is not good for pretalx and pretix (we will use only the first).

I looked at protonmail but with 50€ year plan it is possible to send only 1000 mails per day that seems to be not enough.

I'll search for alternatives but I don't know if there are many with the needed capabilities.

We solved the problem to send emails using the OSGeo mail server, instead for receiving we are going to use some gmail ad AIM (the PCO helping us) accounts. I ask someone to redirect email addresses as follow:

• register@foss4g -> foss4g2022.reg@…
• callforpapers@… -> program.foss4g2022@…
• sponsors@… -> sponsor.foss4g2022@…
• info@… -> info.foss4g2022@…
• news@… -> leave like now that is used for mailchimp
• volunteers@… -> grant.foss4g2022@…
• travelgrant@… -> grant.foss4g2022@…
• visa@… -> grant.foss4g2022@…
• *@foss4g.org -> info.foss4g2022@…

thanks Luca

It looks like foss4g.org is set to have an MX @ » 10 inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.

I think that was set for FOSS4G2021. Is it okay if I remove that? Then I can just use the built-in PAIR mail redirect logic to setup these redirects.

[lucadelu]

Yes I asked Maria and she told me we can do the swicth

Okay I've set up the redirects above. You should get a confirmation at those email addresses to approve the redirect.

I couldn't make sense of the Amazon email setup, so not sure where news@… should go. Let me know where that should go and I'll repoint that too.

Thanks a lot, everything works properly
