Impending migration of the unbound-users mailing list to community.nlnetlabs.nl

[Yorgos Thessalonikefs]

Dear unbound-users list,

Following our previous announcement [1] of NLnet Labs' new platform for
discussion on our various open source projects, we would like to
introduce community.nlnetlabs.nl [2], our new platform for discussion on
our various open source projects.

Over the last years, the number of projects and collaboration platforms
we maintain for our community has grown to the point where we wanted to
offer a consolidated experience.
We chose Discourse because this platform allows you to continue using
email, but also offers a searchable web interface.

Unbound will have its own category which will be the equivalent of this
unbound-users mailing list.

We have now entered the last phase of that transition which includes the
**migration** of this unbound-users mailing list.


This is a pre-notice that as of **April 1st 2026**, you will no longer
be able to subscribe and post to the unbound-users mailing list.
A reminder email will follow on the same day.


The mailing list archives will be kept for at least one year at their
mailman instance.

The mailing list archives will be imported into the Discourse instance.
This means two things:
- All the past information and knowledge of this mailing list will be
   available in the new platform, also with an easier searchable
   interface.
- User email information will be retained per message.
   When a user signs up, all the previous messages to the mailing list
   sent with that email address  will be linked to the new activated
   account.

Please note that we will not subscribe you to community.nlnetlabs.nl
automatically, so if you want to stay up to date on Unbound related
announcements, please create an account.
For those of you that prefer to stick to an e-mail workflow, have a look
at the FAQ [2] linked below.

Lastly, please keep our Code of Conduct and Community Guidelines [3] in
mind.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to community.nlnetlabs.nl !

Be aware that the Unbound category will be available starting on April
1st, after the migration is completed.

On behalf of the NLnet Labs team,
-- Yorgos
