Charter:

The newsgroup ba.announce is for the posting of announcements that
would be of interest to the entire Bay Area Usenet Community.  The
intent is that every Usenet reader in the Bay Area should be able
to subscribe to ba.announce without being overwhelmed by volume.

Format:

Postings should be short; the ideal posting would be less than 50
lines.  Please remember to format your postings for 80-column
screens, as that is the most common screen size on the net.  Also,
please check your spelling and grammar.

Please include location information in the Subject: line!  Not counting
sites in other states and countries, the Bay Area Usenet distribution is at
least 6 hours' drive across, and longer if you take public transit.

If you are announcing an event for a specific date, please include an
Expires: header.

Subject matter:

Content is restricted to announcements only.  Discussions are not
appropriate material.  If you are announcing a meeting for an
organization that is not well-known, please feel free to include
a short statement of the organization's history and purpose as a
part of the announcement posting.  Please do not send us background
material as separate postings; it will be sent back to you.

For sale/wanted, or rental ads are not appropriate material.  Please post such
ads to the proper ba.market group.  Any postings of those types will be
returned if possible, and dropped into the bit bucket if not.

Announcements of seminars should be posted to ba.seminars.

For-sale and for-rent advertisements should be posted to the appropriate
ba.market group.

Some examples of appropriate postings:

      * An announcement of a meeting of a political organization.

      * Party announcements or other social get-togethers.

      * Conference schedule announcements, e.g. Interop or Usenix, if
        it will be held in the Bay Area.

      * Book signings, celebrity visits (authors, Usenet figures, etc).
