[edk2-announce] Groups.io Transition

[stephano <stephano.cetola@linux.intel.com>]

First off, I'd like to thank Laszlo for his help in confirming the 
functionality of the Groups.io mailing list. I could not have done this 
without him. Groups.io seems to mimic our current list almost 100%, 
certainly enough to make it viable. Also, it will allow such exciting 
features as "email attachments", "email whitelisting", calendars, file 
storage, and polls.

edk2-devel transition
-------
I am currently working with 01.org to archive our current mbox from 
edk2-devel and move it over to Groups.io. Once this is complete we will 
officially use that as our development mailing list.

01.org and I are currently working out a date for the transition. I will 
send out an email 2 weeks before the switch, again 1 week before the 
switch, and 24 hours before we "go dark" on 01.org. Please update your 
scripts / documents accordingly.

edk2-bugs transition
-------
Once we have been using groups.io for development emails for a few 
weeks, I'll transition edk2-bugs over as well. I'd rather not do both at 
the same time. Also, I want to give us a chance to collectively agree 
that Groups.io is a successful platform.

Using Groups.io as a Community
-------
There are three "groups" in our current setup: devel, bugs, and 
announce. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the platform:

https://edk2.groups.io

The "default group" is devel, and that is where we will have any polls, 
calendar updates, and file uploads. I will be sending out a Design 
Meeting announcement soon which will rely heavily on this platform.

As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

Cheers,
Stephano
