Dear Osmocom community,

while many people with a long history in FOSS development have no issues
at all with mailing lists as primary form of engaging with their
community, they have undoubtedly fallen out of fashion in favor of
various chat/messaging systems or web based forums.

In Osmocom, we've just launched an installation of the discourse forum
software available at https://discourse.osmocom.org/ providing an
alternative to our traditional mailing lists at https://lists.osmocom.org/

We're looking forward to see whether this web-based approach will
facilitate more and/or other people to engage with the Osmocom
developer/contributor community.

Feel free to join and get the discussions started.  If there's a need
for more categories or sub-categories, just let one of the moderators
know and we can help with that.

The old mailing lists will continue to remain available for those who
prefer them.
