What Can I send to the Mailing List?

Users who do not follow the guidelines below may be removed from the mailing list and blocked from future posting. The following types of posting are permitted on the mailing list:

  • Call for Papers (CFPs), meeting announcements, and faculty or research job openings
    • CFPs require advance permission from the current officers. Please send them a copy to request permission for posting.
    • These postings must have a primary focus that aligns with the technical scope of the MBMC-TC. If in doubt, please contact the current officers.
    • Frequency of postings for the same event must be reasonable (e.g., no more than monthly).
  • Technical discussions of direct interest to the MBMC-TC members
  • MBMC-TC administrative business

Announcements of an event whose primary focus is broadly-based computers, communication or networking is not permitted on the MBMC-TC mailing list. Larger events with activities that directly target the MBMC-TC community, e.g., a special session/track on MBMC topics, are permitted but the announcement must emphasize the MBMC component.
