[atomic-devel] Fedora Atomic WG - Changes to IRC/Mailing list

[Dusty Mabe <dusty dustymabe com>]

TL;DR There is a new fedora atomic mailing list [1] and IRC channel [2], but the mailing list
      should only be used for automated messages and the IRC channel should be used only
      when something extremely Fedora specific (like releng bits) is being discussed. Otherwise
      please use the upstream project atomic mailing list [3] and IRC channel [4] for everything.
      The cloud* list and IRC channel should be no longer used for atomic specific discussions.


In an attempt to minimize the confusion around the relationship between
the Fedora Atomic Working Group and the Fedora Cloud SIG we have decided [5]
to have a new mailing list [1] and irc channel [2] for Fedora Atomic.

Since there is an upstream project atomic mailing list [3] and irc channel [4] already
we have decided that the new fedora atomic mailing list and irc channels should
be narrow in focus and actually push discussion towards the upstream project
atomic mailing list and irc channel. This is mostly so we can get more people
talking about the same problems in one place and have some cross pollination.

The new communication model:

Mailing Lists:

* atomic lists fedoraproject org This list is for all automated messages and cc'd 
  on announcements. It is not a discussion list; discussions on it will be either
  (a) cc'd to atomic-devel or (b) redirected to a pagure issue as appropriate.
* atomic-devel projectatomic io will be used for all mailing list discussions.

IRC:

* all discussions of general topics around Fedora Atomic, including contents,
  containerized kube, container reviews, ostree changes, etc, etc. will be on #atomic.
* discussions and troubleshooting Fedora build pipeline/releng (bodhi, punji, etc.)
  for Atomic will be on the new channel #fedora-atomic.  Content discussions which start
  there will get re-directed to #atomic.

Please take this opportunity to subscribe to any new mailing lists and join any new irc
channels you find appropriate.
