Oye! The skunkworks domain name has been in existence since 28th March 2006. That's 12 years of community collaboration.. We also need to ensure continuity of the same by letting younger skunks (SkunksNg) to assume control over the server and domain and mentor other Kenyan techies to continue with this spirit that has been kept alive for years by 1st generation ICT techies (tech enthusiasts). I'm proposing that we mark this milestone by giving 20 email addresses @ my.co.ke to the most active skunks. We'll need a few to be nominated to be server admins as well. I have recently updated/migrated the server from Debian Wheezy to Ubuntu Bionic Beaver. Nominations are welcome. Ideas to move forward with the community into the future are also welcome.

Thanks Wash. I love the initiative. Looking forward to see who steps up. On Tue, Dec 25, 2018 at 1:06 AM Odhiambo Washington via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

We give these email addresses to all founding members of SkunkWorks, and probably explore new media where new members hung out. As you can see even Robert Alai, the father of groups, moved on from Google Groups to other things. To get new members who will sign up as leaders as you presume we have to move the core platform to their comfort zones. We have to probably add WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Facebook, Twitter and lastly YouTube, these are the most popular at the moment. So obviously we'll need more admins.

Skunkworks already have WhatsApp, Telegram groups. I am not sure they want to run Instagram. I rarely use Instagram myself. We could also have Skunkworks in all those other platforms, but I doubt they'll be active more than WhatsApp. Let's see what others say :) On Tue, 25 Dec 2018 at 19:47, Peter Osotsi via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

IMHO, this mailing list should go back to what made it successful in the first place. Traffic to the main list has dwindled and the sister list on security is effectively dead. Another thing, Whatsapp and other social media platforms might be the popular way to communicate however they do not offer the flexibility of an old school mailing list. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Tuesday, 25 December 2018 23:09, Odhiambo Washington via skunkworks <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

As noted, they will be driving traffic to this mailing list. As you note, people are transitioning to other platforms but mail will not get a replacement soon. And how comes most of us are not aware of the other platforms? I'm sure we're less than 250 core users, and Telegram will accommodate the rest of the listers.
