Mailing Lists
=============
There are four Mesa 3D / DRI mailing lists:
- `mesa-users <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-users>`__
- intended for end-users of Mesa and DRI drivers. Newbie questions
are OK, but please try the general OpenGL resources and Mesa/DRI
documentation first.
- `mesa-dev <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`__
- for Mesa, Gallium and DRI development discussion. Not for
beginners.
- `mesa-commit <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-commit>`__
- relays git check-in messages (for developers). In general, people
should not post to this list.
- `mesa-announce <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-announce>`__
- announcements of new Mesa versions are sent to this list. Very low
traffic.
- `piglit <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/piglit>`__ -
for Piglit (OpenGL driver testing framework) discussion.
.. note::
You **must** subscribe to these lists in order to post to
them. If you try to post to a list and you're not a subscriber (or if
you try to post from a different email address than you subscribed with)
your posting will be held for an indefinite period or may be discarded
entirely.
Follow the links above for list archives.
The old Mesa lists hosted at SourceForge are no longer in use. The
archives are still available, however:
`mesa3d-announce <https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=mesa3d-announce>`__,
`mesa3d-users <https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=mesa3d-users>`__,
`mesa3d-dev <https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=mesa3d-dev>`__.
For mailing lists about Direct Rendering Modules (drm) in Linux/BSD
kernels, see the `DRI
wiki <https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/MailingLists>`__.
