Dear chapter delegates,<br class="">
<br class="">
great things are happening. BOT elections, chapter leaders get
elected and many of us want to express their enthusiastic
appreciation and <b class="">congratulate</b> the winners. They don't
address them in person since there is this wonderful
Chapter-delegates mailing list. Writing to the list will reach the
addressees and has the wonderful side effect that other members of
the list can participate and learn 100+ ways to say "<b class="">congratulations</b>"
in English. Frankly I think has a much bigger potential than we use
today. Since I don't have the exact figures and my math is not very
good I'll work with some reasonable assumptions for an estimation of
what we could achieve.<br class="">
<br class="">
Let's assume there are 120 chapters, Let's further assume there are
4 officers av. of each chapter on chapter delegates. Let's assume
further that every chapter has a 2 years election period. And lets
assume that every member on the chapters delegates list due-fully
sends <b class="">congrats</b> to the list after an election. So here the
calculation:<br class="">
<br class="">
120/2 elections/year * 400 chapter delegates (sender) * 400 chapter
delegates (receiver) = 9.6Mio mails a year or 27K mails per day or
18 mails per minute. Looking at the <b class="">congrats</b> traffic we
generate today I state:<br class="">
<ol class="">
<li class="">we are good</li>
<li class="">we could do more</li>
<li class="">we are steadily improving</li>
</ol>
Just <b class="">90%</b> of the most recent 50 mails on Chapter-delegates
were of type <b class="">congrats</b>. Not only to further improve this
value and approach the estimated max but also to avoid conflicts
with all ignorant participants on the list, who consider messages of
type <b class="">congrats</b> as a subclass of type <b class="">spam</b><i class=""> </i>I'd
like to propose to have a mailing list dedicated to this type of
messages.<br class="">
<br class="">
Any suggestions for tutorials and other educational means on how to
use this mailing list - once it is set up - for messages of type <b class="">congrats</b>
are very welcome.<br class="">
<br class="">
Looking forward ...<br class="">
<br class="">
Klaus<br class="">
