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

[Yorgos Thessalonikefs]

Dear unbound-users list,

As of today, April 1 2026, following the previous announcement quoted 
below, you can no longer subscribe and post to the unbound-users mailing 
list.
We will keep the archives available for at least one year.

As previously shared, the mailing list archives will also be imported 
into the Discourse instance at:
	https://community.nlnetlabs.nl/

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 [1] linked below.

Lastly, please keep our Code of Conduct and Community Guidelines [2] in
mind.

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

Be aware that the migration window will take place at the platform 
**between 07:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC on April 1st**.
During that time the platform will be in read-only mode to facilitate 
the import.
Signing up will not work during that time as well.
After the migration window is closed the 'Unbound' category will become 
available.

On behalf of the NLnet Labs team,
-- Yorgos
