Mailing Lists

The LNX-BBC project has a number of e-mail mailing lists. Each list has its own Web page from which you can subscribe or change your subscription options, as well as a complete archive on the Web.

lnx-bbc
This is the general discussion and help list. Users who have questions about the LNX-BBC should direct them here. Also available as a newsgroup.

lnx-bbc-announce
Announcements of new releases, public meetings (typically in San Francisco or Berkeley, California), and other notable events occur here. It is very low-volume, and is designed for those who cannot handle even the digested version of the other lists.

lnx-bbc-devel
This list is for discussion of future direction of the LNX-BBC project and its associated tools and projects. Most notably, discussion of the GAR system goes on here. Also available as a newsgroup.

lnx-bbc-cvs
This list receives the changelog for each arch checkin that occurs for the project. It can be high-volume, so check out those archives before subscribing. Also available as a newsgroup.

lnx-bbc-bugs
Every single piece of activity relating to the bug tracking system sends a mail to this list. It can also be high-volume, just like the CVS list, so check out the archives before you decide to subscribe. Also available as a newsgroup.

SlashNet IRC, channel #lnx-bbc
While not actually a mailing list, most of the developers hang out in this channel, usually including Nick Moffitt and Nate Riffe. Feel free to have fun with our bot, Dumont!
