The baylisa at baylisa.org is a discussion list for sysadmins and
netadmins.  Traffic varies but seems to usually be light.

It's a place to talk, not a corkboard;  contrariwise, baylisa-jobs
is a corkboard, not a place to talk.  (I know, it's not a job.  It's
hard for me to guess where it goes best, either).

As you've already noted it's a good thing to announce at the meetings.

I think it's fine to mention your classes in your signature block,
and encourage people to contact you offline or via your website if 
they want to know more.  But I think e-flyers shouldn't be posted 
on baylisa at baylisa.org.
