[asterisk-dev] Mailing List Future

[Henning Westerholt]

Hello,

the majority of the responses seems to be against the discontinuation of the mailing list.

Has a decision already been made in the last week? Or is this still discussed internally or with some of the people that offered help in keeping the mailing lists running?

Thanks,

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,
