<h2>Mailing List discussions</h2>
<p>
Policy decisions surrounding HPR are taken by the community as a whole. This
discussion takes place on the <a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/maillist"
target="_blank">Mail List</a> which is open to all HPR listeners and
contributors. The discussions are open and available on the HPR server under
<a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/pipermail/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org/">Mailman</a>.
</p>
<p>The threaded discussions this month can be found here:</p>
<a href="https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2024-January/thread.html" target="_blank">https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2024-January/thread.html</a>

<h2>Any other business</h2>
<h3 id="extreme-shortage-of-shows">Extreme shortage of shows!</h3>
<ul>
<li><p>During January 2024 the number of pending shows in the queue and
those in the reserve queue shrank to an extremely low level. It looked
as if there would be no show to release on an upcoming day, and there
was nothing waiting to be processed.</p></li>
<li><p>This is the first time this has happened in many years - perhaps
more than 12 years.</p></li>
<li><p>Ken put out a message to the HPR mailing list requesting shows.
He also sent personal messages to hosts asking for shows to be
submitted.</p></li>
<li><p>It was very heartening to see the response to these calls, and at
the time of writing (2024-02-03) there are shows for the entirety of
February.</p></li>
<li><p>Thanks to everyone who stepped up to help with this emergency!
However, we, the HPR Community, must not allow this to happen
again.</p></li>
</ul>
