Say Hi to the Community :)

Hi Mailman Developers, After receiving self-introductory emails from the list, I finally realize that I shall do the same too. This is Xiaoxing from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. I am currently a Year 4 student major in Computer Science, while I am having my Gap Year so I am expected to graduate next year. I have heard Mailman for a year, and once made a tutorial on running Mailman 3 on AWS with Docker (https://xiaoxing.us/2018/01/01/deploy-mailman-3-on-aws-using-docker/). After the post, I received some questions about it, and I became interested on the development. And days before, the GSoC 2019 organisations were published. It sparked my willing to contribute. I am now a webmaster of another open source project (AOSC), and I love Open Source. I have being using Python and Flask (another web framework) to build different projects both for my university and some other groups. I think for this GSoC, I would work on REST Callback and, if time allows, apply Gunicorn to the API. The former one must be hard but I like challenges. Detailed proposal will be posted days later as I am still working on it. Even if I fail, I would love to help review MRs and give suggestions. Long-term contributions are expected. And BTW my GitLab account is @Yexiaoxing (https://gitlab.com/Yexiaoxing), while I frequently use GitHub with the same account (https://github.com/Yexiaoxing). Thanks for bringing this brilliant software alive. Yours truly, Xiaoxing

Hello everyone, Myself Nayan Khanna, a 2nd year student at BITS Pilani currently pursuing Bachelor's of Engineering in Computer Science and Integrated MSc. Mathematics. Over the past two years, I have done projects, made REST APIs in Django, Django Rest Framework and Flask and hosting web applications using Nginx and Gunicorn. Apart from this, I have programming experience in Python, C, C++, JavaScript and have basic knowledge of Frontend Technologies HTML and CSS. I have good knowledge of Relational Databases like MySQL, SQL Server and version control systems Git and Gitlab. I have been using Ubuntu from ~2 years and am highly comfortable in it. My github handle is nayan2000 <https://github.com/nayan2000> and Gitlab: Nayan-Khanna <https://gitlab.com/Nayan-Khanna>. I have set up all the parts of Mailman Codebase and have the Mailman running well locally. Also, I have read the docs thoroughly. I want to contribute in the Mailman Codebase. I had a look at the GSoC ideas page too. To get more familiarity with the Codebase, I would like to solve issues/bugs. Please allocate me some issue/bug to start with. Regards Nayan Khanna

Confusing definition of "subscribers"
by Ye Xiaoxing 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

In /lists/, it prompts that "Only lists that you are owner,moderator or subscriber for are shown here", but I see a list which I was only sent a email to or has not request a subscription. Also in /accounts/subscriptions/, that list appears as "nonmember", but not in the "list-based preferences". So what's the definition of subscribers? Is it defined as who has interaction with the list?

Dear sir I am Gsoc 2019 aspirant and would like to contribute to your organization. I have been trying to get the prerequisites. Since I am using a Mac I could not find any guide to help me with the installation. Will I have to get a Virtual machine as instructed or is there a way to install it on a Mac. Thank you
