add kfrancis to trademarks@ alias
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello - I've added Katie Frances to the Google Groups under "trademarks".

Joel notice the following:

**there is a google group called 'trademark'

there is a exim alias (this has precedence) called trademarks, which redirects to another alias called trademark, which looks like this.

  1. Trademarks
  2. trademark has been migrated to google but the alias must remain here. 2012-04-05 -ben
  3. whoops, reverted.
  4. multiple changes per RT-3537, RT-3895, RT-4564, RT-4641, RT-5246, RT-5945, RT-6285, RT-7640 et al

trademarks: trademark
trademark: kwadhwa, mpaulson, slaporte, ywelinder, hwalls, kmaher, rstallman, mbrar, jrogers

We were wondering why this is set up this way.

Please advise.

Thank you,
Eliza

SRE team controls the exim aliases, so adding that project as well as Mail

Hi @eliza. What is this task about (or for who exactly)?

needs a project tag for OIT things too

Not sure what we are being asked to do exactly. Do you want it to be handled in Google entirely?

Hello Dzahn,

I was advised to leave the task open as I am uncertain as to whom to direct this to.
I believe this task is about the exim alias names (trademarks vs. trademark) - though I'll let @JKrauska explain further.

Thanks,
Eliza

Hi Eliza,

so from our point of view in operations (we handle the exim aliases) it is just this:

trademark@ is an alias for the list of people above

and trademarks@ is just an alias for trademark@ so that both variants work and we don't have to repeat the list of people a second time.

We don't know about the Google side of things though.

We can either leave everything as it is or, if being asked to and it's confirmed that everything is handled in Google from now on, we can delete the entire thing on our side.

Best regards,

Daniel

Thanks Daniel (mistakenly addressed you as Dzahn)

We'll go ahead and wait for @JKrauska to see what to do and we'll get back to you.

Hello Daniel,

Just confirmed with Manprit that she would like the Trademark list to be handled on the Google side of things.
But before you delete - let's wait for @JKrauska to say when. He's out of the office till next week (8/24)

Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Thanks
Eliza

Sorry Daniel - just grasping on how to use PHAB.
Wanted to re-open this ticket in order to message you on the new developments. (above).

Let me know if I'm doing this correctly.
:)

@eliza Keeping tasks focused on a single goal is best and helps manage work flows easier. As such I've created T109868 for moving the alias to Google Mail and assigned it to Joel for now. Feel free to use that task to update on the progress of this. Thanks :)

@eliza no worries. yea, we have to wait for @JKrauska to tell us when we can delete it or it would break. let's use T109868 to continue.
