Mailing Lists
Main Lists
- This is the main mailing list of the CentOS project - and normally the list to ask your questions on (or answer questions of others if you can!)
- All announcements regarding CentOS are sent via this list - announcements being security advisories or release infos. This mailing list is "read only" and has not very much traffic. If you're running a server and are concerned about security, you probably want to read this list.
This list is a discussion list about the current and further development of CentOS. If you have questions regarding CentOS, please use the main centos list - this is strictly about development. See also the Contribute page
This list is for discussions about this wiki and CentOS related documentation. See also the Contribute page
- This list is for people running a CentOS mirror - or for those who want to do it. Again: No general questions about CentOS here, ask in the main list.
- This list is for announcements of mirror status, mirror issues, pending releases and so on. It's a very low traffic list for people running a CentOS mirror. This is not a discussion list, use the CentOS-mirror list for discussion about public mirrors.
- This list for discussion about Events, Gatherings and (LUG) Meetings where CentOS is or should be presented. Other promotional issues like marketing (and marketing materials) are also discussed here
- This list is for discussion of virtualization on CentOS, as well as discussion related to the virtualization SIG.
