Right now we have an events list, a jobs list, a cfp (call for papers)
list, and the main list. So the events list is kind of an announcement
list. But not everyone knows about it, so for Stanford events, we tend to
post them to the main list.

If there is no opposition, we could replicate the list of subscribers of
the main list and add them to the events list, with the caveat that it is
an announcements list.

Alternatively, we could get rid of the events list, and replicate the list
of subscribers of the main list and add them to a new list that would be
called liberationtech-announcements.

What do you all think?
