SIG health check - informix-list@iiug.org

Dear SIG subscriber, Let me introduce myself. My name is Jean Georges Perrin, I am a member of the Board of Directors of the IIUG. Recently, the board appointed me to become the "SIG master", thus this is now one additional activity for me. Now that we know each other, let's come to the purpose of this e-mail: primarily I'd like to know what we can do to enhance this Special Interest Group. This group has been fairly active lately and I wish this activity to even grow, so your suggestions are more than welcome. Secondly, I'd like to call for volunteers. We are looking for champions to animate the lists. As a champion, your role will be: - Animate the list: provide some news, try to find some help for some issues, and publicize the list... - Bring back some news to the board on the list evolution; help the ENews team to highlight some major discussions and threads in the list... - Have your name listed in the list, along with your e-mail (we have a system to keep your e-mail anonymous and protect you from SPAM). - ... On behalf of the board, I'd like to thank Sean Durity who's certainly our Linux champion and who's commitment to the linux-informix makes it a success. We are also looking for Vendor champions who can help us maintain the efficiency of these lists. We'd like to thank Jonathan Leffler for his help. Finally, I'd like to remind you of all the lists the IIUG is currently serving.
