Mailing Lists


Public Mailing Lists

The mailing lists are the main communication channels for the Contrail community. Some of them are used for discussions whereas others are mainly used for notifications:

Before posting on the lists, please make sure to follow these posting tips.

Before sending mails to any of the lists mentioned above you'll need to be subscribed to the list. Be very careful to send the mail with the email address you've used to subscribe or your mail won't make it to the list and will be rejected. You can register by clicking on the links above (you can also use these links for unsubscribing). Please also note that large emails - over 100K - will be rejected when sent to these lists.

Private Mailing List

Unlike public mailing list above, these mailing lists are only accessible for core committers and some other trusted persons. Unregistered users can not read archives of this mailing list, because it might contain sensitive security details.

However, anyone can write to these lists to report issues (no subscription needed).  If you want to contribute to discussions on these lists, start contributing and ask for access to the lists on the development mailing list.  Committers will decide whether you will get access or not.
