Thanks Yar. Does anyone else want to weigh in? I'd love to be able to incorporate diverse responses at tomorrow's Sudo Room meeting. *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org> On Sat, Jan 7, 2023 at 12:10 PM Yardena Cohen &lt;yardenack(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: sudo-discuss mailing list -- sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org More options at https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/

For those who couldn't attend the meeting, we discussed the proposal, and there were no objections. I would, however, like to change the name of the promotion working group to the comms working group. Now begins a one week discussion period following tonight's meeting for folks to continue to consider this, and if there are no objections by next week the proposal will be adopted. *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org> On Tue, Jan 10, 2023 at 5:39 PM Taylor Alexander &lt;tlalexander(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Seems cool.
