[01:16] <wxl> tsimonq2: the major negative with LP MLs is you have to be a team member to subscribe. maybe doesn't matter for a local team, but it might. you might, for example, get local people who are not Ubuntu folks to sign up.
[01:17] <wxl> tsimonq2: that being said, there's no reason why you have to use one or the other.
[01:17] <wxl> tsimonq2: i will say it's easier to mine LP for statistics and such. see the LP API for more info on that. 
[01:18] <tsimonq2> wxl: but is it possible for us to use it and be supported for being an official LoCo team?
[01:18] <wxl> tsimonq2: sure
[01:19] <tsimonq2> wxl: ok, thanks
[01:20] <wxl> tsimonq2: i did create this to cross reference mailman lists with LP memberships, though https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wxl/ubuntu-locoteams/mailmangroupxref/files
[01:21] <wxl> i will say that mailman gives you a lot more control over spam and such,so that's a plus
[01:21] <wxl> and it's trivial to get the credentials from rt
[01:22] <tsimonq2> let's try it and see :)
[01:23] <tsimonq2> wxl: we have a meeting on Tuesday, take a look here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-wisconsin/3246-meet-and-greet-hangout/
[01:23] <tsimonq2> :)
[01:23] <wxl> to get the credentials?
[01:23] <tsimonq2> what do you mean?
[01:23] <wxl> you said let's try
[01:23] <wxl> you mean let's try what?
[01:25] <tsimonq2> let's try using Launchpad for the mailing list and see if it is buggy enough that we need to switch back.
[01:25] <wxl> well then there's also the issue of the mailing list. how to inform people NOT to use it? it would be good to at least tell rt to disable it or give you access to set it to provide infromation about being deprecated?
[01:26] <tsimonq2> let's do that...who do I email for that?
[01:26] <wxl> rt@ubuntu.com
[01:27] <tsimonq2> ok, thanks
[01:27] <wxl> it a ticketing system for canonical's it department
[01:28] <wxl> there's an interface for it here fwiw https://rt.ubuntu.com/
[01:29] <tsimonq2> ok, thanks
