Subject: Re: [PolySix] Fundraiser?Hi Scott,
Yes, it would be great if people could contribute. I could put up a gofundme page, or directly via paypal (probably cheaper). That would allow us to transfer almost everything over to groups.io. Otherwise, it would be a blank slate there. Even the archive here (19000 messages) will be gone.The way the transfer to groups.io works is as follows:- we now have a free plan at groups.io.- you have to get a premium plan for at least one year. Otherwise you do not have the migration option.- premium plan for one year costs $110.- after that first year, the premium plan is no long necessary. Unless you need more than 1 GB storage. (I don’t think so.)Details are here: https://groups.io/yahootransferIf we don’t do this:- I will export the current member list, and import this into groups.io.- They will then send out invitations to join the new group.- If someone wants to save their own photos or files, it’s up to themselves to re-upload them to groups.io.Thanks,BenOn 18 Oct 2019, at 02:30, 'Hamblin, Scott' scott.hamblin@abbott.com [PolySix] <PolySix@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Hi Ben,Are you calling for contributions..?I’d be happy to consider any ideas you could share..From: PolySix@yahoogroups.com <PolySix@yahoogroups.com>

Subject: Re: [PolySix] Yahoo Groups shutting down, Polysix group will move.Correcting myself: you need a premium plan PER GROUP. So there is no cost sharing possibility. Initially I thought I could get a single premium plan for my own account and work from that to migrate more than one group.I’m not going to pay $110 per group to transfer the old content over. That is just too much.. (Anybody want to chip in?) What I will probably do, is send out invitations to the existing members on Yahoo to join the new group. The old content here @ Yahoo will continue to exist for some time.Grrr,BenHi Florian,
Basic use with limited storage and features is free, and as far as I can tell it does not need to be for open source.
However….. if you want to migrate a Yahoo group, you ∗have∗ to get a premium plan for one year. (You can downgrade to a free plan afterwards.) And that one year plan is $110 / year.. As far as I can tell you can have unlimited groups and/or migrations for that plan. I have two groups at Yahoo (PolySix and newmellotrongroup). Perhaps we can share the cost? Are there any other Yahoo moderators interested in sharing the cost?
I have looked at other alternatives (Google groups for example), but who knows for how long that will still exist. And there is no migration possibility. I could also host it as separate mailing lists on my synth-diy.org mailing list server, but there would be no file sharing etc.
Kind regards,

I suggest we move this group over to groups.io.
Is groups..io free for our use? I only see "free for open source
projects". As an owner and/or moderator of several synth groups I am
quite interested in it.
