| 23 | <h1>Boost Moderators</h1> |
|---|
| 24 | <p>The Boost moderators are <a href="../people/dave_abrahams.htm">Dave Abrahams</a>, |
|---|
| 25 | Carl Daniel, <a href="../people/beman_dawes.html">Beman Dawes</a>, |
|---|
| 26 | <a href="../people/jeff_garland.html">Jeff Garland</a>, |
|---|
| 27 | <a href="../people/doug_gregor.html">Doug Gregor</a>, and |
|---|
| 28 | <a href="../people/john_maddock.htm">John Maddock</a>. You can reach |
|---|
| 29 | the moderators at <a |
|---|
| 30 | href="mailto:boost-owner@lists.boost.org">boost-owner@lists.boost.org</a>. |
|---|
| 31 | <p> |
|---|
| 32 | <b>Note:</b> The boost moderators do not moderate any mailing lists |
|---|
| 33 | other than the main Boost developers' list. For example, the |
|---|
| 34 | boost-users list moderators are at |
|---|
| 35 | <a |
|---|
| 36 | href="mailto:boost-users-owner@lists.boost.org">boost-users-owner@lists.boost.org</a>. |
|---|
| 37 | The moderators of <a href="mailing_lists.htm">every other Boost list</a> can be reached |
|---|
| 38 | through its home page. |
|---|
| 39 | </p> |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | <h2>Moderator Functions</h2> |
|---|
| 42 | <ul> |
|---|
| 43 | <li>Monitor the mailing list to ensure dialog remains within the acceptable |
|---|
| 44 | boundaries set by the <a href="discussion_policy.htm">discussion policy</a>. |
|---|
| 45 | When discussion strays, use private email to gently remind, strongly rebuke, |
|---|
| 46 | or outright ban, as the situation demands.</li> |
|---|
| 47 | </ul> |
|---|
| 48 | <ul> |
|---|
| 49 | <li>Approve the initial postings of new (and thus still moderated) members, |
|---|
| 50 | and move members to the "Group Policy" posting status.</li> |
|---|
| 51 | </ul> |
|---|
| 52 | <ul> |
|---|
| 53 | <li>Administer the internal operations of the Boost web site, the main Boost |
|---|
| 54 | mailing list, the CVS repository, and other Boost administrative machinery.</li> |
|---|
| 55 | </ul> |
|---|
| 56 | <ul> |
|---|
| 57 | <li>Act as an executive committee overseeing important administrative and |
|---|
| 58 | policy decisions. Boost is a zero-budget organization with no income |
|---|
| 59 | and no expenses, so that eliminates the need for most management. Technical |
|---|
| 60 | decisions are worked out on the mailing list. The moderators handle the few |
|---|
| 61 | remaining decisions that need a definite answer.</li> |
|---|
| 62 | </ul> |
|---|
| 63 | <ul> |
|---|
| 64 | <li>Beyond the purely administrative duties, work to keep the Boost community |
|---|
| 65 | vibrant and alive. That may be as simple as saying "thank you" to |
|---|
| 66 | an individual member, or as complex as starting some major new |
|---|
| 67 | initiative. Do whatever it takes!</li> |
|---|
| 68 | </ul> |
