Do I need to Cc: every individual board-member in order to get in
touch or are rejected EMails to "board@..." being moderated ?
Cheers,
Martin.

In response to the use of google apps for biz, the mail solution provided does not work well with mailman used for OSGeo email lists.
I am not going to explain this well (sigh):
Each time a member is included as both a recipient and via a mailing list mailman registers a bounced mail. After a certain percentage of subscribers bounce the entire domain is dropped. This is fine for the domain gmail.com (where the cast of subscribers is thousands and the threshold is never reached) but prevents me using jgarnett@boundlessgeo.com to subscribe to this list (where the cast is smaller and we last a month before being kicked off).
The workaround (use google groups for mailing lists) is not acceptable as there is no way to export the contents of a group out of google infrastructure.
I cannot recommend the use of google mail for osgeo board given these limitations.

as you found out I'm now subscribed to the "Board" list but, be
assured, I didn't intend to flood the list. Right now I'm responding
to Jody's EMail because, of course, I didn't get Massimiliano's
response.
First I was surprised by the rush to establish the use of Google's
services for OSGeo Board .... and now I'm surprised because almost
nobody bother's to explain the motivation behind. Jachym made this
nice Wiki page at:
.... which, as usual, has a "discuss" tab. Did anybody have a look at
this tab ? There's a request for clarification.
Best regards,
Martin.
