Electronic resources are the best, if not often the only, way to stay informed of the latest advances. Since &os; is a volunteer effort, the user community itself also generally serves as a technical support department of sorts, with electronic mail, web forums, and USENET news being the most effective way of reaching that community. The most important points of contact with the &os; user community are outlined below. Please send other resources not mentioned here to the &a.doc; so that they may also be included. Websites The &os; Forums provide a web based discussion forum for &os; questions and technical discussion. The BSDConferences YouTube Channel provides a collection of high quality videos from BSD conferences around the world. This is a great way to watch key developers give presentations about new work in &os;. Mailing Lists The mailing lists are the most direct way of addressing questions or opening a technical discussion to a concentrated &os; audience. There are a wide variety of lists on a number of different &os; topics. Sending questions to the most appropriate mailing list will invariably assure a faster and more accurate response. The charters for the various lists are given at the bottom of this document. Please read the charter before joining or sending mail to any list. Most list subscribers receive many hundreds of &os; related messages every day, and the charters and rules for use are meant to keep the signal-to-noise ratio of the lists high. To do less would see the mailing lists ultimately fail as an effective communications medium for the Project. To test the ability to send email to &os; lists, send a test message to &a.test.name;. Please do not send test messages to any other list. When in doubt about what list to post a question to, see How to get best results from the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Before posting to any list, please learn about how to best use the mailing lists, such as how to help avoid frequently-repeated discussions, by reading the Mailing List Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document. Archives are kept for all of the mailing lists and can be searched using the &os; World Wide Web server. The keyword searchable archive offers an excellent way of finding answers to frequently asked questions and should be consulted before posting a question. Note that this also means that messages sent to &os; mailing lists are archived in perpetuity. When protecting privacy is a concern, consider using a disposable secondary email address and posting only public information.

It is also a good idea to establish a presence in the technical lists before joining one of these limited lists in order to understand the communications etiquette involved. List Purpose &a.hubs.name; People running mirror sites (infrastructural support) &a.usergroups.name; User group coordination &a.wip-status.name; &os; Work-In-Progress Status &a.wireless.name; Discussions of 802.11 stack, tools, device driver development Digest lists: All of the above lists are available in a digest format. Once subscribed to a list, the digest options can be changed in the account options section. SVN lists: The following lists are for people interested in seeing the log messages for changes to various areas of the source tree. They are Read-Only lists and should not have mail sent to them. List Source area Area Description (source for) &a.svn-doc-all.name; /usr/doc All changes to the doc Subversion repository (except for user, projects and translations) &a.svn-doc-head.name; /usr/doc All changes to the head branch of the doc Subversion repository &a.svn-doc-projects.name; /usr/doc/projects All changes to the projects area of the doc Subversion repository &a.svn-doc-svnadmin.name; /usr/doc All changes to the administrative scripts, hooks, and other configuration data of the doc Subversion repository &a.svn-ports-all.name; /usr/ports All changes to the ports Subversion repository &a.svn-ports-head.name; /usr/ports All changes to the head branch of the ports Subversion repository &a.svn-ports-svnadmin.name; /usr/ports All changes to the administrative scripts, hooks, and other configuration data of the ports Subversion repository &a.svn-src-all.name; /usr/src All changes to the src Subversion repository (except for user and projects) &a.svn-src-head.name; /usr/src All changes to the head branch of the src Subversion repository (the &os;-CURRENT branch) &a.svn-src-projects.name; /usr/projects All changes to the projects area of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-release.name; /usr/src All changes to the releases area of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-releng.name; /usr/src All changes to the releng branches of the src Subversion repository (the security / release engineering branches) &a.svn-src-stable.name; /usr/src All changes to the all stable branches of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-stable-6.name; /usr/src All changes to the stable/6 branch of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-stable-7.name; /usr/src All changes to the stable/7 branch of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-stable-8.name; /usr/src All changes to the stable/8 branch of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-stable-9.name; /usr/src All changes to the stable/9 branch of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-stable-10.name; /usr/src All changes to the stable/10 branch of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-stable-11.name; /usr/src All changes to the stable/11 branch of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-stable-12.name; /usr/src All changes to the stable/12 branch of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-stable-other.name; /usr/src All changes to the older stable branches of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-svnadmin.name; /usr/src All changes to the administrative scripts, hooks, and other configuration data of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-user.name; /usr/src All changes to the experimental user area of the src Subversion repository &a.svn-src-vendor.name; /usr/src All changes to the vendor work area of the src Subversion repository How to Subscribe To subscribe to a list, click the list name at &a.mailman.lists.link;. The page that is displayed should contain all of the necessary subscription instructions for that list. To actually post to a given list, send mail to listname@FreeBSD.org. It will then be redistributed to mailing list members world-wide. To unsubscribe from a list, click on the URL found at the bottom of every email received from the list. It is also possible to send an email to listname-unsubscribe@FreeBSD.org to unsubscribe. It is important to keep discussion in the technical mailing lists on a technical track. To only receive important announcements, instead join the &a.announce;, which is intended for infrequent traffic. List Charters All &os; mailing lists have certain basic rules which must be adhered to by anyone using them. Failure to comply with these guidelines will result in two (2) written warnings from the &os; Postmaster postmaster@FreeBSD.org, after which, on a third offense, the poster will removed from all &os; mailing lists and filtered from further posting to them. We regret that such rules and measures are necessary at all, but today's Internet is a pretty harsh environment, it would seem, and many fail to appreciate just how fragile some of its mechanisms are. Rules of the road: The topic of any posting should adhere to the basic charter of the list it is posted to. If the list is about technical issues, the posting should contain technical discussion. Ongoing irrelevant chatter or flaming only detracts from the value of the mailing list for everyone on it and will not be tolerated. For free-form discussion on no particular topic, the &a.chat; is freely available and should be used instead. No posting should be made to more than 2 mailing lists, and only to 2 when a clear and obvious need to post to both lists exists. For most lists, there is already a great deal of subscriber overlap and except for the most esoteric mixes (say -stable & -scsi), there really is no reason to post to more than one list at a time. If a message is received with multiple mailing lists on the Cc line, trim the Cc line before replying. The person who replies is still responsible for cross-posting, no matter who the originator might have been. Personal attacks and profanity (in the context of an argument) are not allowed, and that includes users and developers alike. Gross breaches of netiquette, like excerpting or reposting private mail when permission to do so was not and would not be forthcoming, are frowned upon but not specifically enforced. However, there are also very few cases where such content would fit within the charter of a list and it would therefore probably rate a warning (or ban) on that basis alone. Advertising of non-&os; related products or services is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate ban if it is clear that the offender is advertising by spam.
