Re: [edu-eu] Future of address@hidden mailing list

[Guido Arnold]

Happy New Year everybody!

This will probably be the last email to this list. As there were no
objections to the procedure outlined below, I am about to execute the
last step and remove us all from address@hidden

Feel free to contact the edu-team [3] or myself if you have any
questions or concerns or see the need for a dedicated edu list in the
future. 

So long, and thanks for all fish! 

Guido
