[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge.net on Google Apps

[Jeff Tchang]

I had a brief discussion with Jacon and Andy over e-mail and the possibility
of having noisebridge.net use Google Apps. Right now our mail is being
handled internally by noisebridge.net. (I am not entirely sure which box
that is... the IP as resolved externally is 209.237.247.66...is this pony?).

Mail is not stored and the box only does does mail forwarding. No mail is
kept on the system.

The advantage I see of using a hosted service is the ease of administration
and being able to easily dole out @noisebridge.net email accounts to anyone
that wants them. Of course we can do this today but in my opinion it is a
lot easier to setup in Google Apps new email accounts than it is to
configure the mail forwarding.

There are a ton of reasons why we wouldn't want to do this including
privacy/security concerns and the support being handled by a 3rd party.
However Google does offer professional Google Apps for non profits for up to
3000 accounts for free (which is great).
