Thread: Who's approving Events?
Folks, I was just approving Selena's event posting, and noticed that we have a bunch of events which have not been reviewed since before I went on vacation -- including a talk by Bruce which came and went without the Event listing ever getting approved! Then I noticed that I've stopped getting "slaves" notifications. What's going on? -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco
I can be of help if moderation requires some human effort.

I've broought this up before but got a less than enthusiastic response - we need people to take ownership of each specific area and ensure that moderation happens, or that in their absence someone takes over. I look after the mirrors in that way already and it works well, but I'm not prepared to take on all areas myself. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

Regardless of that, we need a documented list of who the moderators are, and what they are responsible for moderating. (this includes mailing lists). Joshua D.

Dave, great.
What about news and professional services?

An in the past couple of weeks both me and Dave have been very busy, and thus not approving as much. It's on my list to refresh the list of people that are actually registered as slaves, and add some more if needed. With the mail from Guido, I've had at least two people volunteering to do it if we can decide how many we need. As for you not getting slaves notifications - perhaps you got booted off the list at the same time you did from a couple of other lists? Because I certainly receive the notifications (though they tend to drown in the nagios notifications these days - need to fix that) //Magnus

In the event of holidays etc. it is up to each owner to let the rest of -slaves know so someone else can take over. Thanks to Guido and JD for stepping up to the plate. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

You'll need to subscribe to the slaves list: pgsql-slavestothewww@postgresql.org I'll setup access to the admin interface for you. News approval is subject to the policy at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/NewsEventsApproval. Professional Services are approved if you can tell from the companies website that they provide PG services. If they don't mention PG, they don't get approved. If you're not sure, ask in the slaves list (it's usually best to ask prior to rejecting anything outright anyway). -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

The main reason I don't do it as much anymore is that I keep getting
unsubscribed from -slaves, I think due to sourcforge sending back too many
messages as spam/bounces. If there was some way to force majordomo to never
unsubecribe me from such a list, I think it would help (note I'm guessing
that may have been Josh's problem above). Short of that, things might get
better once we stop directing nagios to -slaves.

Hi, I was on vacation/afk for the last 2 weeks. I'm back now, and will continue approving/deleting (;) ) news/events/comments, etc. Regards, D.

We certainly need backups on all posts. Just because we have an owner doesn't let the rest of us off the hook ;-) //Magnus
