This page presents the mailing lists of the project Grid'5000.

All lists are hosted by Grid'5000 mailing list server: https://sympa.inria.fr/ The service is hosted by dedicated virtual sympa server. This service features 2 interesting options:

  • LDAP binding: mailing lists can be bound to Grid'5000 LDAP account directory.
  • Archives portal

Your subscription to most mailing lists in this page is directly derived from your Grid'5000 account and the groups you belong to.

As a Grid'5000 user, you should essentially be submitting emails to the users list.

Note.png Note

You can chose your mailing list subscriptions through the user management interface.

If you don't remember your password, you can reset it using the reset password form.

You can also have more options and modify your "Subscriber options" through the sympa website to change your subscriptions types.

If you don't know your sympa password, you can ask for a new one here: https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/renewpasswd/
