GFOSS.it discourse category

[lucadelu]

We would like to move three ​Italian mailing lists to the new Discourse OSGeo instance.

The candidates are:

• ​GFOSS.it public
• ​Consiglio this is private for the association board and could be named GFOSS.it-board
• ​Soci GFOSS this is privare for the association members and could be named GFOSS.it-members

About the new names I need confirmation from actual board

@lucadelu Please write in the ticket:

• which lists to migrate:
• if you would like to merge into gfoss the unused mailing lists: archeologia, comitato-scientifico gfoss-day-cs opendata
• If gfoss (or which ones) is going to be a mirror
• If you also want to have the move/mirror ones

Note that the lists can change names for example: archeologia can be archeologia-it

@ccvergara thanks a lot for your work, I'm going to update the GFOSS board and I'll be back to you as soon as possible with answers to your questions.

[lucadelu]

@ccvergara so we would like to have

• exclude from any operation: foss4g2022, gfoss-day, gfoss-day-cs, comitato-scientifico. These are not useful anymore
• gfoss public with archeologia and opendata merged
• soci.gfoss and consiglio as private category

None of them should be mirror since we are going to shut down the old server.

Should I do anything ?

[cvvergara]

Q: For

"soci.gfoss and consiglio as private category"

you mean

• one category for both (merged)
• one category each?
