LPSF-Events was created about a year and a half ago, before I moved
back, and Bryce is the only moderator.
I've compared its member list with lpsf-announce, and everyone on
lpsf-events is already on lpsf-announce, except for:
firecracker_hb (Norm Westwell)
harlandh5 (Harland Harrison)
jeff11123
jkac3
mcfrandy (R.P. McCosker)
ricochetboy (Phil Berg)
Let's just manually add these 6 to LPSF-Announce and delete the
LPSF-Events group.
Bryce, can you handle that for us? Or, can you make me an owner of the
Events group, so I can do it?
Once everyone is migrated from Events to Announce, I'll send one mass
email to Activists, Discuss, and Announce (as well to BayAreaChairs for
them to forward to the other counties' LP lists) asking people to join
the Meetup:
http://libertarian.meetup.com/370/
the Upcoming.org group:
http://www.drinkingfreely.org/
and the Facebook group:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11023569793
Can anyone think of any other social networking sites where we ought to
have an LPSF presence?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Great to merge the Events/Announce Lists and send invitations to join
to everybody alive! However, I am wondering (and I might be dead
wrong on this) if given we do not have a huge libertarian-leaning
local population, we should get involved in two drinking groups, as
opposed to focusing on growing the Libertarian Meetup 370? But I am
fine with whatever you decide.
Thanks.

Oh, it's the same thing. Same event. Same time/place/etc. Just posted
on two different companies' websites, for greater coverage. All of the
SF events on drinkingfreely.org (which really is just a redirect to
Yahoo's Upcoming.org site) are just Rachel's events on Meetup.com. (And
now that we'll be adding them to Facebook.com as well, it will be three
social networking sites, plus the standard Yahoo Groups calendar, for a
total of four.) The problem is that not everybody uses the same
company's social networking site, so we have to post one event to
multiple sites in order to get the word out.
Believe me -- I don't have the energy to try to do two of anything
anymore. 
Now do you see why I'm asking for a volunteer whose only job it will be
to manage the LPSF social networking sites, crossposting events that are
on one to all of the others? It's a fair amount to keep track of. It
needs to be someone other than one of the current officers, I think.
I'll see if I can't talk Rachel into doing it. But if anyone else is
interested, please speak up.
