Fwd: Welcome to the Data Science and Learning division
by Foster, Ian T. 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

It seems that the dsl-affiliates list is still not set up, so I am resending this message to the broader dsl(a)anl.gov list. As always, don’t hesitate to ping me if you have any questions (like “why am I on this email list?”) > Dear colleagues: > > After an unexpectedly long wait, the dsl-employees and dsl-affiliates email lists are finally live. (Who knew databases could be so complicated?) > > We will thus take these lists for a spin by using them to welcome you to the new Data Science and Learning (DSL) Division. Each of you is either an employee (Argonne employee with DSL as their home division, plus some academic joint appointees) or affiliate (others, such as UChicago joint appointees, with a DSL affiliation). > > You’ll be hearing a lot from us in the coming weeks and months. In particular, we’ll be organizing some meetings so that we can all meet and get to know each other. For now, let us say that we are delighted and honored to be working with you in DSL and that we look forward to learning more about your work and planning (and doing) great things. > > Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, ideas, etc. > > Regards, > > Ian Foster (DSL Director) > Rajeev Thakur (DSL Deputy Director)

Fwd: Update: Standardizing communications across CELS divisions - new mailing lists
by Stacey, Craig 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

I just noticed that the CELS Systems Announcement list is still not including EVS, CPS, or DSL (I have an open ticket with BIS to fix this). In the interim, please see the notices below, also available on https://mcssys.wordpress.com. Thanks. -- Craig Begin forwarded message: From: Craig Stacey <stace(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Update: Standardizing communications across CELS divisions - new mailing lists Date: April 25, 2018 at 9:02:21 AM CDT To: "cels-systems-announce(a)lists.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>" <cels-systems-announce(a)lists.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> A quick update to this. First of all, each of the divisional "-all" list now has an even easier shortcut. Just division(a)anl.gov. Secondly, by and large, the only lists you should generally use are <division>@anl.gov. You might want the “-employees” list for things dealing specifically with Argonne administrative issues like Dayforce that non-employees don’t need to deal with. There’s probably no real reason to use the “-friends” list on its own. So if you want to reach mcs, just send mail to mcs(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>. ALCF is "lcf(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>" (or "alcf(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>"). EVS is evs(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>. And so on in that fashion. -- Craig On Apr 24, 2018, at 4:09 PM, Stacey, Craig <stace(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, everybody. With the advent of new divisions in CELS it seems an opportune time to address an issue we've had in CELS for some time - consistent methods of communications among the divisions and their employees with mailing lists. Each division had its own standards, some had automatic lists built from HR/Workday, some were Exchange/Outlook lists, some were managed by hand, there was no naming standard. It was kind of a quagmire for someone new coming in, especially as we try to increase collaborating and communication across the divisions. I've been working with divisional and ALD management on this for a bit, and getting the pieces put in place took longer than I'd like, but we're finally ready to roll out. (There's one small part I'm still waiting on which I'll explain below, but it's not worth holding this up anymore.) You can see this layout in detail here: https://inside.cels.anl.gov/shared-services-resources/systems/cels-mailing-… (login with your ANL credentials) Summary and overview: For each division, there are three standard lists, two of them automatically populated and one managed by hand. These are as follows, where DIV is the three letter division (BIO, CLS, CPS, DSL, EVS, LCF, MCS). DIV-employees(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>: Employees of Argonne whose appointment is in the division. An employee shows up in Workday as an Employee (as opposed to Contingent Worker, Joint Appointment, etc.) This list is automatically managed by data from Workday. DIV-affiliates(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>: Contractors,other contingent workers, joint appointments from outside Argonne whose primary appointment and affiliation is in the division. In Workday, a [C] appears after their name. This list is automatically managed by data from Workday. DIV-friends(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>: People who don't fit either of the above, but should get mail sent to the division at large. People who are shared across division lines, but their home division is not the main one. For example, your administrative, HR, safety, and IT staff would go on this list, since they're in CELS and not in the division (except when the division in question is actually CLS). This list is managed by hand. You can also individually subscribe by sending mail to "DIV-friends-join(a)lists.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>" (changing DIV to the proper division). DIV-all(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>: All three of the above lists for that division. So mcs-all(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> will hit mcs-employees, mcs-affiliates, and mcs-friends. If you're curious as to who is on what list, the memberships are updated nightly and can be seen in this box folder: https://anl.box.com/v/CELS-Mailing-Lists CELS-wide lists: There are also some cels-wide lists, most of which have restricted posting rules to limit the possibility of spamming and reply-storms. You can see these on the web page above as well. One exception is seminars(a)cels.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>. We've had some requests for people to be able to see seminar announcements from other divisions, but each division has their own away of announcing them. MCS would use "seminars(a)mcs.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>", BIO, EVS, and LCF would send to their staff lists (which didn't help if you weren't on their staff). We've set up seminars(a)cels.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> and it's live now. It's a voluntary list anyone can join. I've already populated it with the employee and affiliate lists from the divisions, plus anyone who's on seminars(a)mcs.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> and isn't covered in the above. Anyone is free to subscribe or unsubscribe, and new arrivals should be encouraged to subscribe. Please use seminars(a)cels.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> for seminar announcements (or include it if you want to send to other addresses as well). NOTE: I'm still awaiting the creation of evs-affiliates, cps-affiliates, and dsl-affiliates. Until those are live, there's a workaround in place, and mail to dsl-all(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>, for example, will hit employees, affiliates, and friends. -- Craig Stacey, IT Director, CELS stace(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Twitter: @mcssys http://twitter.com/mcssys Blog: http://mcssys.wordpress.com<http://mcssys.wordpress.com/> Mailing List: https://lists.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/cels-systems-announce
