Goldberg" Subject: [announce] Major news for footbag list (PLEASE READ) Sender: owner-announce@footbag.org This message is being sent to you because you are currently a member of the footbag@footbag.org mailing list. PLEASE take a couple of minutes now to read the information below, and SAVE this message for future reference. This message is informational only -- you don't have to do anything (unless you're interested in freestyle discussions, or in leaving the discussion group); but we want you to understand the changes. ------ 1. LESS TRAFFIC You will notice an immediate and dramatic drop in e-mail traffic on the footbag@footbag list since we are now rerouting all freestyle-related message to a new "freestyle" list (see #5 below). [FREESTYLERS note: if you are interested in the new freestyle list you may need to join it yourself to keep from missing any of the messages! See 5-7 below for more info. If you have a message saying "Welcome to freestyle" in your mailbox now, then that means I've already added you and you don't need to do anything at all (unless you don't want to be on it, in which case you can unsubscribe as instructed below).] 2. MAJORDOMO The footbag "listserve" is now managed by a semi-automated system called Majordomo. This should make your life easier, as well as ours. For more information on majordomo, send e-mail to majordomo@footbag.org and put the word "help" in the *body* of the message (the subject line is ignored). You will instantly receive an automated reply. 3. ADMINISTRATION Jim Curtis is still the list administrator, and I have come on board as co-administrator. I am currently managing the transition to the new server; we hope this transition will be smooth. (Please note, however, that most join/leave requests will now be handled automatically, so don't put personal notes in messages to footbag-request@footbag.org -- we probably won't see them.) 4. NEW COMPUTER The list is no longer maintained by a computer inside Hewlett-Packard; it is on a server operated by the World-Wide Footbag Foundation, and sponsored by Yak.NET and Market.NET. Thanks go to my friend strick@yak.net for the use of the Pentium hosting our lists. A reminder: the World-Wide Footbag Foundation is a non-profit corporation and all the time, energy, and service required for this project have been donated. 5. NEW LIST ORGANIZATION: There is now a list specifically for discussions of footbag tricks, freestyle moves, rules, and related issues. This list is separate from the "footbag" list -- it is called "freestyle@footbag.org". There is also a separate list for announcements, for those of you who are just interested in keeping track of the sport without participating in general discussion -- "announce@footbag.org" is the name of that list. To summarize, there are now three lists at footbag.org (with corresponding "-digest" versions, as described in (8) below): ===================================================================== | announce@footbag.org | | ==> for announcements only (very low volume) | | | | freestyle@footbag.org | | ==> for freestyle discussions and "how-to"s | | | | footbag@footbag.org | | ==> for *general* discussion (no freestyle), such | | ==> as basic information, hosting festivals/tournaments, | | ==> finding partners for tournaments, forming clubs, | | ==> equipment, etc., etc. | ===================================================================== 6. WHICH FOOTBAG LISTS ARE YOU ON NOW? You are automatically a recipient of "announce" and "footbag" messages. If you want to be removed from either of these lists, or both, see (7) below. If you are a member of either the "footbag" or "freestyle" list, you will automatically be a member of "announce". However, if all you want is announcements, feel free to remove yourself from the other list(s), as described in (7). ==> If you were on the digest before, you're on the digest now. Now, however, you are automatically on two digests; one for the regular list, and one for the announce list. ==> FREESTYLERS! If you are interested in the freestyle discussion, you must join that list yourselves! To join, see (7) below to learn how to join. (Some of you may have already been added; if so, you will already have a message in your inbox telling you that.) 7. JOINING AND LEAVING MADE EASY Joining and leaving lists is similar to the way it used to be. The difference is that it is now automated. So it should happen instantly as long as you follow the convention below: (a) KNOW THE CODE (In the following table, all addresses are @footbag.org) Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" messages For this list: to this address: -------------- ----------------------- footbag footbag-request footbag-digest footbag-digest-request freestyle freestyle-request freestyle-digest freestyle-digest-request announce announce-request announce-digest announce-digest-request (b) PUT COMMANDS IN THE BODY (NOT THE SUBJECT LINE) To join, say "subscribe" in the body. To leave, say "unsubscribe" in the body. 8. DIGESTS vs. REGULAR This is a big difference from the previous way we did things, so read carefully: We now have two lists for each subject: a "regular" list and a "digest" list. These lists are distinguished by the "-digest" ending for digest lists. You should send to the regular form of the list (i.e., without the "-digest" ending) when you're posting a message to the list. But if you want to subscribe or unsubscribe, it's important that you know the difference, and send to the correct -request address! They are all listed in (7a) above. 9. SUBJECTS WITH BRACKETS Majordomo will automatically put the name of the list to which mail was sent into the subject line of messages you receive from our mailing lists. That way, you can tell the messages apart and know which ones came from which lists. For example, the subject line for this message you are now reading should be: Subject: [announce] Major news for footbag list (PLEASE READ) You do not have to type the bracketed name yourself; it is added automatically. This should help you figure out where mail is coming from at a glance; if you don't see the []'s then the message was probably sent directly to you, and not to one of our lists. -------- Thanks for reading this far. I was trying to find a less long-winded way to explain all this stuff, but I figured it was safer to err on the side of giving you all the information I thought you'd need. Please feel free to write me with questions. And please be patient -- we have tested extensively but as with anything this complex, something is bound to go wrong. If you see an erroneous message or anything wierd, you can probably BET that we saw it too and are working to fix it. Feel free to write me or Jim DIRECTLY, but *please* don't cc the list unless it's related to the actual discussions on the list. Enjoy! Steve P.S. This information will be on http://www.footbag.org at some point; so if you lose it, look there or contact me.

Goldberg" Subject: [announce] Footbag Link on Cherry Coke's website! Sender: owner-announce@footbag.org Again, the Internet is kind to footbag. This afternoon, a link to our Footbag WorldWide website appeared prominently on the "Cherry Coke's The Wall" web page! It will be there for a week. (Yes, this is the real Cherry Coke, i.e., Coca Cola.) Check it out! It's another great opportunity for the visibility of our sport -- and it was entirely unsolicited. When they wrote me for permission, they said, "We love your FOOTBAG WORLDWIDE homepage and we would really like to make you one of our cool links." It's way cool. To see the page, go to: http://www.ccwall.com --- Footbag was also recently listed in yet another a REAL BOOK in the bookstore! Our website, , along with that of the Stanford Univ. Footbag Club, were prominently featured in the "Sports" section of the Lycos A2Z Catalog of the Best Web Sites in the World (or something like that). Check it out -- it's in a bookstore near you. Yes, it's in the "Footbag" subsection; given equal billing with Fencing, Foosball, and Football. Not to mention that, on the next page of the book is a huge inset "Editor's Choice" that has Footbag WorldWide in huge letters and gives yet another great review of our pages and sport, with the logo from this year's Worlds in Montreal at the bottom.

I have been firming up things concerning the X-Mas Jam. It= will be held in Flint, Michigan on December 28th, at the University of= Michigan, Flint campus, from 12-6pm. Directions for those whom are driving= can be explained on an individual basis by e-mail or phone (810) 742-5497.= All others whom are flying will need to fly into Flint (if you can, Detroit= is ok but I would prefer you come to Bishop Airport in Flint) for= transportation reasons. I have held 10 rooms at the Ramada in Flint (sweet hotel!!) For the 27,= 28th, you will need to call them yourself to reserve your room by Dec.= 14th. The rooms are $54.00 per night (double bed). I encourage you to do= group rooming for 2 reasons: 1.economy, 2. it's more FUN!!!! I need to add= that if you don't reserve your rooms by then, they will be unsecured and= you WILL have a hard time getting one anywhere in Flint. (I called a lot of= places and alot of them were already booked.)=20 The event itself will consist of SHREDDING, supporting Andy Linder in his= World record attempt, and SHREDDING some more!! There will be a U-kick-it= contest for all of the begginer kickers with lots of footbag prizes with= lots of good food to eat. It will be sold CHEAP so that we can raise some= money for our charity (American Heart Association). So all of you guys on a= tight budget will NOT go hungry. (Promise)=20 This like all the past Jams, promises to be a complete BLAST. I am expecting= cool radio and television coverage for the event, so I want to see as many= of you newer shredders out here shredding it up for them!!=20 Any questions feel free to e-mail me or call.=20 Hu-Mungis ps. Mr Goldberg, I personally request your presence at the jam as I feel= that it will be fruitful in our endeveours(sp?) to further define freestyle= moves.

Slight Date Change, I just found out today that the dates for The Bite, a Taste Festival of Portland, are Friday, August 15, 1997 through Sunday, August 17, 1997... Which means the actual dates for Worlds 97 are August 11, 1997 - August 17, 1997. Hope this is big enough advance notice - at least it was not a problem with the sites I have lined up. We have a rough schedule outlined and 125 sponsorship request letters went out on 10/21. I have managed to misplace my list of people interested in staffing Worlds 97 so if you are interested please contact me by e-mail or telephone as soon as possible and let me know your area of expertise. The people I do have as volunteer staff are: Chris Ott - banners Lindsay Harris - banners Scott Milne - score keeping James Harley - seeding Tim Vozar Julie Smith - booth assistance Steve Smith - golf Steve Goldberg - behind the sceens & freestyle We hope to line up a big local non-competitor volunteer base to help run the day to day touney operations (set up, tear down, lunch, clean up, etc.) so comments and volunteer work from people with pre-event organization skills would be well received.
