Joining Launchpad and HOWTO Subscribe to Launchpad Mailing Lists

Hi,

Previously, I have published a post - How Amazingly Launchpad Handles Users Membership - and this is yet another post about Launchpad :)


First of all, please be informed that each and every member of ITA Team (on this facebook group), should select 1-2 sub-team to join:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ita/+spec/sub-teams-selection-phase1


ITA 10 Sub-Teams are:

And, everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) must join:
https://launchpad.net/~ita-team

This is very important because daily communications should NOT be on the Facebook Group.

Now, after joining any Team on Launchpad, usually (depends on the default settings of your Launchpad Account), you will be subscribed to its Mailing List (in case that team has a mailing list).

In order to double check and make sure you're subscribed, you need to follow these simple steps:

1- Go to your Launchpad Profile:
https://launchpad.net/~yourname

2- Scroll down and go to:
All Memberships

3- Find the Teams you have joined on that list.

4- Click for example on: https://launchpad.net/~ita-team or any other team you're subscribed to.

5- Scroll down and you should see this:

In case you're already subscribed to the mailing list of that team which you're part of.

6- For whatever reason, if you can't see the same thing as the screenshot on #5 above, then you probably will see:

It means you are NOT subscribed to that mailing list of that team.

What does it mean?

It means that you will NOT receive any email that will be send on that mailing list.

How to fix that?
Please read this guide: https://help.launchpad.net/Teams/MailingLists


7- You're not required to do anything at all ONLY in this case:

This means there is no mailing list for that team which you're part of and yes, it happens sometimes. 

However, when it comes to ITA Sub-Teams, please be sure that all our 10 Sub-Teams have mailing lists already :)

Launchpad is an amazing and great platform. To know more about it, please see: https://launchpad.net/+tour/index 

I hope this simple guide was helpful :)

Should you have any Q? please do ask :)

Thank you for reading!
