Web by Harald C. Mail list censored by Hilary (alias Sunny) J. (Wife of Harald C.) & others. |
| Why 2 ? | Original & First mail list & first web. berklix.org. sprang back to activity years ago, after attempts to forcibly snatch mail list & web site, even while the list was being voluntarily dismantled in favour of a successor run by a rump of committee members - who almost immediately censored their list. | Some committee members some years are only told of gea-muc.de, & don't know berklix.org exists. |
| Web Addresses | http://berklix.org/gea/ 3 replicated servers at 2 physical sites - resilient ! | http://gea-muc.de |
| Web Content | Reference site for Beer gardens, Skiing, Walking, Wind surfing Cycling (to beer gardens of course!) etc. Downhill Skiing, Ski Tour etc (Langlaufers welcome too). Spare backup copy of programme as mailed out. Less regularly maintained, except for sports. |
May have more langlaufer info. Includes a web forum. |
| Web Control | Editor: Julian S. Not committee controlled. GEA information welcome from all, no committee approval needed. Info welcome equally from event organisers, committee and normal members. | Editor Harald C.. |
| Web Format | Simplistic layout, no features, should work on every browser, even if all optional features turned off. | Graphical/ glitzy & feature laden. Can look very nice but features can break or raise security, portability, compatibility & upgrade issues etc). Ensure you've got latest HTML extensions, cookies, java script, plug ins EG flash, graphics, extensive colour palette, standard screen pixel resolution, or other new browser features as they come available. |
| Web History | Original & First GEA Web Site. | Started as a copy of berklix.org/ |
| Web Author | Julian S. joined GEA in 1985; committee member 1990/1991; before & since, an organiser for skiing, beer gardens, barbecues, windsurfing & camping & Austria/ Italy trips & annual elections, beer garden mail list etc. Web added when committee member Graham C. liaised to the committee. | Harald C.. After prior help from Julian S. learning). |

S. Subscription Robot: Web & Mail Censor: None Ever ! |
First: Hilary (alias Sunny) J., with Lawrence J. Pirated from berklix.org. |
| Mail List Type | Un-moderated, Instant Relay Only subscribed members can post (protection from spammers) | Moderated = Censored. |
| Mail List Content | Mainly Beer gardens & Skiing & Walking & other outdoor activities etc, short notice events mail list (day or 2, or or just hours notice, EG beer garden announcements). Other lists exists for skiers, walkers, & their organisers. | Censored: Sometimes valid info gets suppressed. Apparently one censor blocked event detail as organiser's web referenced berklix.org Often even committee members don't get told there's an uncensored list. |
| Advertising & Personal Data Harvesting ? | Non commercial provider. No adverts inserted, No address & personal data harvesting done - (Julian S. is an Internet consultant & programmer etc, owns runs & personally builds all software binaries from free source code for servers - he Knows what is installed. | Commercial (usually USA based) providers of `free' services. Usage subject to their address & personal data harvesting policy. (For current provider see header). |
| Mail List History & Numbers | Original & First GEA Mail List. Many of the the original GEA organisers, still busy. Lower numbers than other list, but the other list has numerous unknowns who aren't active. Numerous people are on both lists. Offer declined to subscribe POETs en masse, as berklix.org is exclusively people who individually choose to join - unlike other list. |
Started as a pirated copy of Julian S.'s berklix.org mail list taken by Lawrence J. & Hilary (alias Sunny) J. just after web split. Maybe 2002, the POETs group, looking for a new home, were merged in by Owen, who, typical of many, was active in events organised by both mail lists. Yahoo List |
| Mail List Technology | Triple redundancy servers. Main + 2 backup servers at different physical sites, in Munich. Running on Unix: FreeBSD Servers | USA based commercial Company: Yahoo. Yahoo also adverts, data harvesting etc. Yahoo uses FreeBSD technology, as does berklix.org . |
