[asterisk-dev] Mailing List Future

[Henning Westerholt]

Hello,

thanks for starting the discussion.

I am obviously not a large contributor to asterisk. Nevertheless, I would also prefer to stay with a real hosted mailing list for the development communication instead of moving to a web forum or another more closed web service like github.

Cheers,

Henning

Subject: [asterisk-dev] Mailing List Future

Greetings all,

Over the past few years, the use of the Asterisk mailing lists has diminished, with far more conversation happening on the Asterisk community forums[1]. The state of email, to ensure reliable delivery, has also gotten more complicated - emails get caught by spam filters, etc.. To continue the mailing lists would require a huge time and resource investment, for minimal use.

To that end, we’ve decided to discontinue the mailing lists effective February 1st, 2024.

This means the following:

1. Sending and receiving mailing list emails will no longer be possible.
2. The list archives, however, will remain available.

We need to decide the future of the asterisk-dev mailing list; specifically, where to hold discussions in the future. There are a few options:

1. A “Development” category exists on https://community.asterisk.org/ already that can be used.
2. We can use GitHub discussions, which keeps things with the GitHub project.
3. We can use a hosted mailing list elsewhere.

We suggest option #2, since it keeps things with the GitHub project, which is where everything development-related happens now regardless. This has been set up and enabled already.

If you have any input, now is the time to state it.

Cheers,
