Collaboration Tools/Channels

This page lists primary communication channles and tools used by Ignite development community. If you are an Ignite user, please use the Ignite user list to get support. 

Ignite Dev List

This list is the primary and the default communication channel - dev@ignite.apache.org 

All the discussions related to contributions, changes, new ideas have to be started on the dev list first. Remember the mantra - "It didn't happen and if didn't happen on the dev list". The project is being developed and moved forward by people living accross the globe and speaking different languages. Thus, an asyncronous written communication is a preferred way of engagement in ASF as well as within the Ignite community.

For the sake of openness, speed and transparency, the community members are free to use Ignite Slack or meet via the tools like Google Meeting. But, recalling the mantra, if any conversation took place between contributors using channels like Slack, a summary of the discussion/decision has to be shared via the dev list letting other contributors to share their opinions. As a summary, final decisions are made only on the dev list. The other tools listed below are used for the sake of efficiency in certain occurences.
