[Sigmetrics] important notice about migration of the SIG MET listserv to a new platform!!!

[Philippe Mongeon]

Dear all,

To summerize, ASIST has decided to close down all the listservs of the
different special interest groups (including Sig Metrics) and replace
them with community platform (basically a discussion forum) on the ASIST
website that requires users to login (and thus be members of ASIST). As
Christina said, this is a shame since our listservs has more than a
thousand members and contributors, many of which are not members of ASIST
or Sig Metrics. As she also pointed out, I think we should look for an
alternative solution to maintain this communication channel open and
relatively free of organizational constraints (perhaps a google group?).
Your suggestions are most welcome.

All the best,

Philippe Mongeon
Chair-elect of Sig Metrics
