[digiKam-users] LinkedIn user group...

[patdavid]

Andrew,

It is indeed a forum.  It's likely different than anything you've used previously, though. ;)

If you want to watch a specific category, you can navigate to the it and click this icon in the top right to change your level of interest and notifications.  You can also modify this in your personal settings here:

The good thing is you can basically use the forum entirely through your email client, just like a normal mailing list (with the exception of starting new posts through email at the moment - we are deciding if this is a good idea to turn on).  

Does this help?

In fact, I just noticed that my reply to everyone with image attachments got hung up in a mod queue due to attachment size of images. :(

This wouldn't be a problem on discuss.pixls.us... :D

I haven't checked this one in particular, but in Discourse in general
there is an option in the preferences to turn on mailing list
mode. Unless it's been disabled by the admins, I don't know.

It's enabled.  I had written a great response to Andrew, but it's caught up in the moderation queue because I attached a couple of screenshot images. :(

Long story short, you can use the entire forum as a mailing list if you want (even just specific categories only).  The only thing we haven't turned on yet is starting new topics by email, but we're probably going to soon.

Long story short, you can use the entire forum as a mailing list if you want (even just specific categories only).  The only thing we haven't turned on yet is starting new topics by email, but we're probably going to soon.

I haven't checked this one in particular, but in Discourse in general
there is an option in the preferences to turn on mailing list
mode. Unless it's been disabled by the admins, I don't know.

Both. 

- Linkedin, because i use it now to replace G+ which will be closed in April, as i see. I'm already contacted by users and students. So at leat it do the job for some tasks.

- Pixl.us, because it's an active community around photo world and open source.

There is no perfect place to manage a community. For ex, this mailing list exist since the project start, and it's not perfect too, as we need to moderate post, limit the attachment, and admit that older post can be lost or not suitable in time.

 Pixl.us 👍 

I'm going to write something comprehensive face detection summery in regard to an older discussion. 
I would post it in Pixl.us as well to tackle:

For what it’s worth:

In my opinion, “LinkedIn” is an evil harvester of personal data, with scruples no better than Facebook. Although I use the platform extensively in my work to scout potential projects around the globe, I do so very carefully to limit what personal data Linkedin can suck from my soul (and private address book). 

As evidenced by the growing backlash directed at such nefarious commercial vampires, I suggest that Linkedin may not be a very popular option for the many who are becoming ever more concerned about the risks to their liberty.

I can understand that it would be inconvenient to move some “users and students” from that platform, particularly if they’ve already been moved once. However, I think that this would be more than offset by the convenience of only having to communicate in a single forum. A single, “safe”, forum.
