Hi all,

Over the two weeks, we've opened up a debate into whether a move from
the mailing list to a forum (Discourse) would makes sense for the
community. You can read the previous thread here:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/foreman-users/XXSETIlScX4/discussion

There's also an AMA recording if video is your thing:

# So what's the result?

The TL;DR is that this looks very likely to happen at this point.

The debate has been strong, but we've seen a clear preference for a
forum win out over a mailing list. In addition, we started a discussion
about whether to move *only* foreman-users, or to include the
development list, foreman-dev, as well. If having a view of the
development discussions has value to you (or doesn't!), then there is a
poll open on Discourse right now:

https://community.theforeman.org/t/poll-which-lists-should-migrate-to-discourse/7598

There is still time to contribute to either the poll or more generally
to the debate, though - I plan to take a final decision at the end of
next week (Thu 7th). Please do let your views be known :)

# What happens next?

Unless there is a huge change in mood in the next 7 days (seems
unlikely), then Discourse is going to happen. I'll write more about how
the migration will happen next week, but for now here's a few dates:

Thu Dec  7th - conclude polls and state decisions regarding list(s)
Mon Dec 11th - T-3 weeks -> initiate migration plan
Sun Dec 31st - at midnight (or close to it) migrate the list(s)

One month to go, New Year, new tools. Should be fun :)

Thanks!
Greg
