COmanage Developers List

[Niels van Dijk <>]

Hi,

I've been talking to Simon when he visited SURFnet some months ago, and
that got him thinking about nation wide group stuff and domestication in
Australia. I know he is also talking to AARnet people, but i I am
correct hi himself is not working for the nren.

We already have an international email list so I'd propose adding him to
that.
My colleague Maarten as it happens started to maintain a wiki in the
SURFnetlabs wiki (that also houses the domestication wiki), where is
keeps track of the minuets of the meetings as well as interesting stuff
from a number of mailing list We would be happy to open that up,
although I'm not sure if it would add realy valu currently (currently it
was setup as an internal archive and reference point only.)
That said, as we already have federated login in place, I would make an
good place to use.

cheers,
Niels
