From: Big-8 Management Board <board@big-8.org> Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups.proposals,comp.sys.wearables Subject: MODERATOR FOUND: comp.sys.wearables Followup-To: news.groups.proposals Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2025 13:46:40 EST Organization: Usenet Big-8 Management Board Message-ID: <MPG.42257797843ad1fc9896ee@news.eternal-september.org> Archive-Name: comp.sys.wearables REPLACEMENT MODERATOR FOUND comp.sys.wearables The Big-8 Management Board is pleased to announce that Greg Pfeil has volunteered to moderate the newsgroup comp.sys.wearables. He was one of the group's original moderators when it was first created in 1998 and has agreed to return to the role. The group is now open for submissions. MODERATOR INFO Moderator: Greg Pfeil Article submission address: <csw@nan.users.panix.com> Moderation team contact: <comp-sys-wearables-moderator@technomadic.org> CHARTER A forum for the creation and distribution of wearable computer systems and their software as well as for the dissemination of knowledge on these subjects. Appropriate topics of discussion would include choosing the architechture and O/S for a wearable system; product preferences including quality, specifications and applications; methods of constrution; and courses of study. Posting binaries is discouraged, technical diagrams necessary to the construction of systems and other such binaries should be accessed via a link to an FTP or Web site. Posts on semi-wearables, such as pen systems and PDAs should be posted to their respective newsgroups, not comp.sys.wearables. Commercial advertisements, political discussions (except those dealing with the acceptiblity of wearable systems), flames, etc. are not appropriate in this group. The general "netiquette" FAQs posted in news.announce.newusers and news.answers all apply to comp.sys.wearables. MODERATION POLICY (Taken from Message-ID: <m21pvpzi8t.fsf@technomadic.org>) In the 16 years since the last post to this group, wearable computing has rapidly moved forward. Everything from smart watches, heads-up displays, and of course, the pocket-sized devices that are so much more powerful than the PC/104 half-cube I built in my dorm room decades ago. But what exists outside of those spaces? What has the mainsteam industry overlooked or gotten wrong? What wild thing have you built to address some need that isn't being satisfied elsewhere? Please share it here. Also note that this group is moderated, but anything even tangentially relevant is accepted, so long as posters abide by the Contributor Covenant (https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/). The last version of the posting guidelines (from over 20 years ago) can still be found at https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.wearables/c/1ft995kLzXg. Please follow them for the time being, but feel free to bring it up to me or the group if you feel any of it should be updated.
