Im subscribed to netfilter and netfilter-dev but does it matter? you
are spamming on multiple lists about something not related to the list
subject.
People subscribe to the list to exchange information and discuss
relevant subjects not to get ads...
If you are trying to bring people to your event than I guess you are
doing the exact opposite by spamming in all these lists.
Amine.

Netfilter is certainly part of the event.

IIRC Hajime always added links to the site in his announcements, which
made it easy to lookup netdev. Maybe adding some lines about netdev to
all emails would reduce confusion? Suspect not everyone subscribed to
these lists knows what netdev is.
Don't consider these emails spam at all :)
Thanks.

Because linux-wireless is part of this event.
Like netfilter, lets please have more people chime
in _to not_ have these postings go to linux-wireless.
Note: this discussion already has generated more traffic
than a few days worth of announcements ;->
cheers,
