[RTC List] [RTC Board] We Made It!

I guess I just signed up when I joined. Also for me technology is a business
issue, it's not something in which I have any particular interest on a
personal level.

I am curious, how did you (the members on this list) get on it?

I have always been under the impression that it's a free-for-all list for
folks wanting to hear and be heard vis-a-vis RTC-relevant tech. news on the
Northcoast (uh, let's say Humboldt and maybe Del Norte?).

The RTC web site says:

"Join the List

Subscribe to our low volume discussion mailing list and keep up to date on
important tech news on the North Coast. You will also receive notices of RTC
member meetings and agendas. You do not need to be a member of RTC to join
this list."

Not much about busines therein.

I notice that the members on the list has grown or changed since the RTC
website facelift.
Were you (the members on this list) given some other impression as to the
lists function?

Thanks,
 -Shawn
