| Mailing Lists |
| ============= |
| |
| These are the primary 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. |
| |
| - `dri-devel <http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel>`__ |
| - for the Linux/BSD Direct Rendering Module (DRM) kernel modules |
| supporting Mesa's userspace drivers |
| |
| - `piglit <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/piglit>`__ - |
| for Piglit (OpenGL driver testing framework) discussion. |
