[edk2-announce] Groups.io Transition

[stephano]

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

Hi Stephano,
On https://edk2.groups.io/ the default group opened right away is
/g/devel, which is fine, but there isn't any indication of other groups
being available. It'd be useful to add links to other groups in the
description, for people not having your introductory mail linking other
groups available.
Thanks, Richard

Good point. I'll see if I can't add a link somewhere on the /g/devel 
landing page.

Cheers,
