Subject: [olug-colo] Suggestions for Official E-mail<br>
Sent: Apr 26, 2009 1:26 AM<br>
<br>
Something just occurred to me - we need a good unified solution for<br>
communication and collaboration. Instead of just using the Drupal<br>
website set up at <a href="http://colo.olug.org/" target="_blank">colo.olug.org</a>
(which appears to be quite unused<br>
nowadays), we should also set up email to use for official<br>
communications.<br>
<br>
We should establish official @<a href="http://omahaix.com/" target="_blank">omahaix.com</a>
email addresses for business<br>
purposes. My suggestion is to use Google Apps. Centralized mail,<br>
document sharing and collaboration, all that jazz. Maybe it's just me<br>
but I think having official email addresses gives a better impression<br>
of how organized this venture is. (The answer being "not very",
but<br>
still, everyone else doesn't know that.)<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
