| ====== Contacts ====== | ====== Communication within the OpenWrt Project ====== |
| | One of OpenWrt's (and former LEDE's) goals is that all project-related communication should be done on public channels that are archived and easily browsable. |
| | However, specific problems and tasks may be resolved using direct means of communication. |
| | Please look through these choices to find an appropriate means to reach us. |
| | |
| | ===== Forum ===== |
| | Due to the past OpenWrt/LEDE merger, there were two public web forums available of which only one is still in use today. |
| | |
| | * The **[[https://forum.openwrt.org/|OpenWrt Forum]]**, formerly LEDE forum, provides a place for direct member-to-member communication in categories [[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/announcements|Release and security announcements]], [[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/general|Installing and Using OpenWrt]], [[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/hardware-questions-and-recommendations|Hardware Questions and Recommendations]], [[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/devel|For Developers]], [[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/documentation|Talk about Documentation]]((See also [[:wiki:start#contact|contact info for questions about this OpenWrt wiki website]])), [[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/community-builds-projects-packages|Community Builds, Projects & Packages]] and [[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/site-feedback|Site Feedback and Other Questions]]. Forum members can create/join topics via the web and optionally follow through email. |
| | |
| | * The [[https://forum.archive.openwrt.org/|Old OpenWrt Forum]] used to host a large community of OpenWrt users and developers and provided a platform to discuss all OpenWrt related topics. Unfortunately, the forum suffered a total data loss in May 2018, which the project was never be able to recover from. Partial archives are available for browsing, but posting is not possible anymore. |

| | ===== Important changes and announcements ===== |
| | |
| | Important changes about OpenWrt, such as new releases or important security fixes, can be received on different channels: |
| | |
| | * [[https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-announce|OpenWrt-Announce mailing list]] for new releases and security announcements |
| | * [[https://openwrt.org/feed.php?type=rss&mode=list&sort=date&ns=advisory&linkto=current&content=html|RSS feed for OpenWrt security advisories]] |
| | * [[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/announcements/14|Release and security announcements category @ OpenWrt forum]] + [[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/announcements/14.rss|RSS]]/[[https://forum.openwrt.org/c/announcements/14.json|JSON]] |
| | |
| | ===== Mailing lists ===== |
| | |
| | Communication happens on several public mailing lists: |
| | |
| | - [[https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel|OpenWrt-Devel archives and info]] - Mailing list for submitting patches and general development related work. |
| | - [[https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-adm|OpenWrt-Admin archives and info]] - Mailing list for project administration. |
| | - [[https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-announce|OpenWrt-Announce archives and info]] - Mailing list for new releases and security announcements |
| | - [[https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-bugs|OpenWrt-Bugs Archives and info]] - This list receives bug tracking notifications from Flyspray. |
| | - [[https://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-commits|LEDE-Commit Archives and info]] - This list tracks the commits to our ''%%openwrt/openwrt.git%%'' and ''%%web.git%%'' repositories. |
| | |
| | During the LEDE period, some of the lists were named lede-* instead of openwrt-* (e.g. lede-bugs). There might still be archives of those lists. |
| | ===== IRC channels ===== |
| | The project provides 3 IRC channels on [[https://www.oftc.net/|OFTC]]: |
| | - #openwrt - a public channel for everyone to join and participate. |
| | - #openwrt-devel - a public channel for **developers** to join and participate. |
