New HHC Email List – Please sign up to receive information about the HHC conferences

[rprosperi]

A new HHC email list, which you can subscribe to, has been created to replace the now-defunct old list. The original list server has been removed, due primarily to ever-changing and increasingly more sophisticated email handling requirements (mostly because of SPAM, abuse, etc.) and the original member list has unfortunately been lost.

To subscribe:

Send an email to hhc-conf+subscribe@googlegroups.com. No special subject or content is required.

You should quickly receive a reply, confirming your request has been received, and requesting you to click a button in the message to “Join This Group”. This step is to confirm your proper email address was received and the mail system can reach you. If you have not received one of these messages within 24 hours (please check your spam/junk folders) then you probably mistyped the address, or the system cannot reach your address for some other unusual reason. Please try sending a message to that address again.

After you click the Join button, your request will go to a queue as a confirmed application to join. A moderator will check these periodically and approve your membership, after which you should receive a message confirming membership, including a link to visit the group, which you are welcome to do, but note that there is nothing “in the group” to visit except older messages.

Notes:

1. You do NOT need to have a Google account to join the mail list

2. You DO need to have a Google account, and be signed-in, to visit the group (this is a normal Google group), but there is currently no plan to host files or other content in the group; current plans are to utilize the group only as a managed email list. (FYI - you can create a google account using any email address, it does NOT have to be a gmail address)

3. For now, the only reason to visit the group is to see prior messages you may have missed

4. If you have attended a prior HHC conference you will probably receive one or more messages, similar to this one, asking you to join the new group. If you’ve already joined at that time (e.g. upon seeing this post), there is no need to sign-up again.

5. Initially, there will be many folks joining, so we’ll be checking the application queue often, but that will eventually slow down and we’ll stop checking as often. If you’ve done all the needed steps and have not received confirmation of joining for several days, please feel free to post a note here on the MoHPC Forum in this same thread.

6. This list is only for HHC Conference announcements and related discussions. It is NOT for selling or buying, technical calculator discussions, inquiring how to calculate PI in base 13 using continued fractions, or any other topics. Members abusing the list for unintended uses will be removed from the list.

Many, many thanks to Eric Smith for hosting the old service for so many years, and for creating this new group!!
