Technical -- SIO Technical List
About Technical	English (USA)
SYNOPSIS - A mailing list, technical@sio.ucsd.edu, has been created for the benefit of those at SIO who are involved with gear, in a broadly defined sense, and its application to the task of collecting data and getting it safely home to become fodder for science. BACKGROUND - There is a tremendous amount of technical expertise and experience here at SIO. There is also a large amount of compartmentalization of the working groups. It is sometimes difficult to find out that guy in the next building has solved the problem that is currently vexing you. In the various early retirement programs SIO lost some of the key senior technical people who, in addition to their experience, had a good idea of who on the campus knew what. PURPOSE - The list is to provide a forum in which information can be exchanged or broadcast, questions can be asked and answered, and technical folks can expand their circle of peers for mutual support. While mailing lists either die for lack of activity or evolve into whatever they are going to be, let me suggest some random examples of appropriate topics. - I just found a great source for cargo shipping containers. - Does anyone know where I can get parts for my 30 year old dead weight tester? - Who knows which acoustic releases work and which to avoid? - There's a bongo net in the office I just moved into, does anyone want it? - Who can I talk to about designing a mooring to mount my instrument? NOTE: To avoid spam, this list will reject messages not posted by list members. This means that to avoid posting delays, the return address in your posting must match your subscribed address.
