Hi everyone,

It’s time! [Sign up here](http://forum.ansible.com/signup?) ![:rocket:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/rocket.png?v=12 ":rocket:")

As has been [discussed](https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/202) over the past 6+ months, the new [Ansible Community Forum](http://forum.ansible.com/) is live!

We’re aiming big, to create a place for the whole ecosystem to gather and _discuss_ topics of interest, get _help_, find out about _events_, and get involved. With powerful tagging, filtering, notification options, and search, you should be able to set this up to track the topics _you_ care about and want to participate in.

You can find out a bit more in our [launch blog post](https://www.ansible.com/blog/welcome-to-the-new-ansible-community-forum), or just [dive right in](http://forum.ansible.com/signup?). And when you do, [come introduce yourself](http://forum.ansible.com/t/introduce-yourself/15)!

Ready to start exploring some of the topics? Here’s a few suggestions:

- The [new community website wireframes](http://forum.ansible.com/t/wireframes-for-the-new-ansible-com-community-powered-website/90) could use some feedback
- We’ve been [working on our mission statement](http://forum.ansible.com/t/ansible-mission-statement-brainstorming-time/176), maybe you have an opinion?
- [Looking for a Meetup](http://forum.ansible.com/c/events/8)? Or want to start one? Look here!
- And, of course, answers to [Open #Help requests](http://forum.ansible.com/search?expanded=false&q=%23help%20status%3Aunsolved%20status%3Aopen) are very welcome ![:slightly_smiling_face:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/slightly_smiling_face.png?v=12 ":slightly\_smiling\_face:")

We look forward to getting to know you! Onwards! ![:tada:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/tada.png?v=12 ":tada:")

forum is great. One question … is there any particular change on how to use this mailing list intended by this launch, or will they just co-exist?

would it i.e. be well received to post links to forum Questions/Topics in here rather then speeling things out in an email?

Hi Gunnar,

For now the forum and mailing lists will co-exist, although we are focusing on making the forum the main place for people to gather and ask questions / discuss topics. We encourage everyone to start using the forum, and down the line we’ll consult with the various lists (there are several in addition to ansible-project) on ways to retire/migrate them.

In the meantime, if you prefer the way mailing lists work, there’s a [Guide to interacting with the forum by email](http://forum.ansible.com/t/guide-to-interacting-with-this-site-by-email/33).

Cheers,  
Carol.
