FOSS4G Email Delegation

[alexgleith]

Hey Folks

I'm one of the co-chairs for FOSS4G 2025, and I'm hoping to use the foss4g domain for this year, if possible.

One easy way to do this is to allow us to use foss4g.org as an alias domain for our existing Google Workspace account (attached to foss4g-oceania.org), which will be free for us, and allow us to manage auth and forwarding and everything.

An alternative is we get a few emails like chair@… and sponsorship@… and forward them to chair@… etc. This is fine, but we wouldn't be able to send as those emails then.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Alex

I just checked looks like it's being used by europe, too, so I've just aliased.

As an FYI, prior year was called sponsors@…, probably better to stick with that convention, just in case someone from the past writes back wanting to sponsor again. But I've registered both.

So chair@…, sponsor@…, sponsorship@…, info@…, register@… is mapped to chair@…

Those extra ones were the ones used last year and I think prior years as well.

Let me know if any of these need changing and feel free to reopen the ticket.

Is it just Europe using the forwarding?

I could re-implement the forward on our side, if it's just one of them?

I think so, but I'd rather leave as it is if you don't mind. We've always done it as aliases.
