[Okfn-fi] Opening the list for active use

Thu Jan 12 10:46:02 UTC 2012

Dear OKFN-FI mailing list members,

Nice to have you onboard! It's time to open the mailing list for active 
use. We are currently somewhat over 30 open knowledge advocates from 
Finland, mostly Finns, but there are also some English speaking people, 
so that's why I'm writing in English now.

The language policy of the list is that you should use what ever 
language you are comfortable with. English and Finnish are the ones most 
people can read, so try to use either of those.

The mailing list is a channel you can use to inform others about 
up-coming events, news, calls for action etc. This list is also _the_ 
channel for discussing the need for and planning the organisation of the 
Open Knowledge Foundation Finland chapter. So please don't hesitate to 
share your needs, thoughts and comments.

I would expect that some of the first posts to the list will be 
announcements of the upcoming OKFN-FI meetups for the Spring of 2012. 
But other issues are most welcome - there is the option to get only a 
daily digest if/when we are getting too many messages :)

With community building regards,
Jussi
