The migration was rolled back. Please continue to use the existing mailing lists until further notice.
### lists.opscode.com moving to Google Groups
To: Chef mailing lists
Subject: Good bye, lists.opscode.com. Was Re: Re: Re: Re:
Hello lists.opscode.com,
Since January of 2009 [0], the Chef Community has been
exchanging ideas, debating features, and helping one
another on the mailing lists hosted at lists.opscode.com.
These lists have served us well over the years but have
not been without their own issues. Moving off of the
current mailing list technology was first discussed in
earnest back in June of 2012 [1]. Since then we’ve had a
number of failed migration attempts, false starts, and
hundreds of messages with the a subject that starts with
“Re: Re: Re:…”.
Julian Dunn proposed RFC 28 [2] and that was accepted by the
community through our RFC process [3].
It’s time to say good bye. Starting next week, we’re moving
to google groups.
Good bye lists.opscode.com.
Sincerely,
The Chef Community
