Hi Brad,
The mailing list setup predates me, but I think the intent is that
people who just want to see meeting announcements, and don't want to
see any other random discussion can subscribe to the announce list.
I'm planning to post meeting announcements to both lists, so you should
see everything if you're subscribed to talk. Or you can subscribe to
both, just in case (at the cost of one or two extra emails per month).
Not sure if you're already aware, but there's also discussion on the
IRC channel (#nblug on libera.chat).
The lack of certain apps is definitely the biggest downside (IMO) to a
google-less LineageOS install. Depending on what you're looking for,
f-droid.org is an open source Android app store, but of course that
doesn't help with proprietary stuff. You can get many of the free
(-as-in-beer) apps from alternate sources (apkmirror.com, apkpure.com,
...), but those always seem a little dodgy to me. And any apps that
require various google framework stuff (Uber and Lyft are going to
require maps, for example) presumably won't run anyway.
I ended up installing Lineage + gapps on my old phone, with a cheap
MVNO SIM card. I leave that turned off most of the time, but keep it
around in case I'm planning to use Lyft or something.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi Derek & everyone,
I got the second email announcement (below) for the March 8 meeting
and I hope it went well. I did not get the February 27 email though.
It doesn't appear that I am on the 'announce mailing list' and I'm
only on the 'talk mailing list' - does it make sense for me to join
both? Do we need two (or more?) lists? Or should we just send general
messages to all the NBLUG lists with the hope of reaching all of
those who signed up?
I'm new to the group, so I'm open to ideas. I would just like to get
the all of the relevant meeting emails.
BTW, I still haven't shifted to LineageOS for my OnePlus 6T yet. My
main motive would be to be able to get rid of the Google Play store
and my Google account and my usage of a few regular apps has
prevented me from making the leap, maybe someday...

Just a reminder that there's a general meeting tonight at 7:00.
Look for us in the tent outside Flagship Taproom and Spring Thai
(8099 La Plaza, Cotati).
Hope to see everyone there!

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">We're going to hold another regular meeting on Tuesday March 8 at
7:00pm, at Flagship Taproom / Spring Thai in Cotati. This will be
a social meeting -- there's not really any way to do presentations
outdoors. If you have any cool toys, projects, anything that
doesn't need a projector or too much table space, feel free to
bring them. We're hoping to be back indoors at some point, but in
the meantime we're trying to keep things going with these casual
meetings.
For those who didn't make the February meeting, Flagship and Spring
Thai are sharing a big outdoor tent with lots of picnic tables, so
you can order good Thai food and/or good beer.
