Mailman - navigating commercial closed-source in an open source project

Postorius for administration and user profiles, and HyperKitty for
archives).  There are now commercially developed closed-source
alternatives for Postorius and HyperKitty.  Stephen will talk about

About TLUG
----------
TLUG is a non-profit, non-political organization established in June
of 1994 to exchange information on the use of Linux and Free Software
Foundation tools. TLUG has an active mailing list, home page, and
regular physical meetings. Discussions are primarily held in English,
but non-English speakers are encouraged to come and participate.
We especially want to encourage Japanese people to attend and will make
efforts to support a bilingual meeting.

month on the 2nd Friday.
