Let me refine that statement a little bit: * you asked, "handling user support" ... no decisions are made there, so the Foundation doesn't require a permanent record * BUT. development *decisions* must be handled on an Apache-archived mailing list. My apologies, that should have been in the list

Anywhere is just fine. You will have to work harder for discoverability, but the Foundation has never mandated on-our-hardware for community interactions. On Sun, Sep 17, 2017 at 11:02 PM, Seb Kiureghian wrote: > Thanks Greg! Just want to clarify, if the community intends to use the > forum as a

Thanks Greg! Just want to clarify, if the community intends to use the forum as a primary mode of handling user support, does it need to be hosted on the VM provided by Apache, or can we host it elsewhere? Thanks, Seb On Sun, Sep 17, 2017 at 8:57 PM, Greg Stein wrote: > On Sun, Sep 17, 2017 at

An advantage of apache is apache people from other projects. If you use the standard mail lists that will make it clearer for other developers from other groups to pick up your list and contribute. I mean I would know how to find your list easily. But If you advertise something different than yo

We got some clarification in the other thread from general@incubator. There is no official policy on forums other than (1)The main way people interact has to be on Apache infrastructure and (2)All decisions must be made on the mailing lists.
