Why not head over to LOPSA and join one of their lists? <https://lopsa.org/> <https://lopsa.org/mailman/listinfo> <quote> The League of Professional System Administrators (LOPSA) is a nonprofit corporation with members throughout the world. Our mission is to advance the practice of system administration; to support, recognize, educate, and encourage its practitioners; and to serve the public through education and outreach on system administration issues. LOPSA membership benefits fall into two classes. The first involves support of you as a member and a sysadmin. LOPSA is working to provide educational and networking opportunities, a forum for support and ideas, and an active community engaged in discussion of sysadmin issues. </quote> I've always though communities making *-offtopic lists didn't make much sense - go find an on-topic list.
