In the version of mailman I'm looking at, y ou go to the administration interface, then Privacy options... then Sender filters. In the Non-member filters section add your work email to the "List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted.". Then this problem will be fixed.

If there's traditionally no meeting in January, how about a LCA inspired meeting on either the Sunday before, Monday* or Friday** nights or the Saturday afternoon after the Open day***. The other nights are usually taken up for various people: Tuesday: Speaker dinner Wednesday: Conference dinner Thursday: Professional delegates dinner but Sunday, Monday and Friday often have people gathering loosely and you'll have a number of guest speakers available. * - Some miniconf organisers arrange to do something fun with their speakers afterwards in appreciation; although they don't advertise the fact. Thus some potential attendees may discover themselves quite torn if you choose Monday night. This isn't very reliable though, so I think Monday is a good bet. ** - Some conferences have had various events on the Friday evening, such as the Google party at Sydney (really awesome) and Melbourne (not as awesome) and the bar thing in Tasmania (not very awesome at all). I don't know whether the team has organised something for 2010 so I don't know if that is an option. *** - I don't actually know if the Open day is happening, or whether this is feasible, but it's an idea. Lots of people will fly out on Saturday, so maybe it isn't. In any case, I expect to be up for drinks and socialisation the Saturday and Sunday nights before the conf at the least!

Thanks Jacinta, I reckon this is a good idea (if I must say so myself...), but I want to make a slight correction before people start planning events, the conference dinner is on Friday night. So for LCA2010 we have: Tuesday: Speakers Thursday: Professional Delegates Networking Session Friday: Penguin Dinner (conference dinner) Which leaves Monday* and Wednesday free during the week. We've deliberately left those nights free so that people can organise their own ad-hoc catch ups with people. > * - Some miniconf organisers arrange to do something fun with their speakers > afterwards in appreciation; although they don't advertise the fact. Thus some > potential attendees may discover themselves quite torn if you choose Monday > night. This isn't very reliable though, so I think Monday is a good bet. I can second that. I didn't even manage to make it to the pub with my speakers after my miniconf in Hobart. :( > ** - Some conferences have had various events on the Friday evening, such as the > Google party at Sydney (really awesome) and Melbourne (not as awesome) and the > bar thing in Tasmania (not very awesome at all).

Yes, the Open Day is happening, on the Saturday. For the people that haven't heard about linux.conf.au before, please check out http://www.lca2010.org.nz .

We'll see what we can organise. Beware that the conference dinner is on Friday evening this year: http://www.lca2010.org.nz/programme/schedule/friday which would tend to rule Friday out (although only people with Professional tickets or who wanted to pay $115 (!!) for dinner will be going). I'm not sure what's supposed to be on the Wednesday night; Tuesday and Thursday are Speakers and Professional Delegates nights as is common for LCA.
