Community
- LOPSA Mailing Lists
LOPSA sponsors and hosts mailing lists to serve the community. Most mailing lists are open to all; some may have more limited subscription policies.
- LOPSA IRC channels
The LOPSA IRC channels are on irc.lopsa.org:
The channel #lopsa is a combination professional channel and coffee house—conversation is often freewheeling and ranges on a variety of topics however, when you ask a technical or professional question, you will get answers.
The channel #lopsa-live is used for scheduled community discussions with the Board.
- The LOPSA Mentorship Program
LOPSA provides a “match-maker” service for people that want to be mentors and people that want to be protégés. Mentors list their availability and a brief description of their skills and interests. A coordinator brings the two together. The pair is free to work out their own goals, timeline, schedule, and so on.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“The heroes of the world community are not those who withdraw when difficulties ensue, not those who can envision neither the prospect of success nor the consequence of failure—but those who stand the heat of battle, the fight for world peace through the United Nations.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
—Aldo Leopold (1886–1948)
“It never was in the power of any man or any community to call the arts into being. They come to serve his actual wants, never to please his fancy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
