<br>
Following up on our previous discussion about transitioning the VTK<br>
mailing lists to Discourse [1], we now have a Discourse forum ready to<br>
use to discuss all things VTK. You can find it at<br>
<br>
<a href="https://discourse.vtk.org/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discourse.vtk.org/</a><br>
<br>
You can sign up for the web site using your Google or GitHub accounts<br>
if you prefer, otherwise you can register with a user name and<br>
password.<br>
<br>
Please try it out and leave any feedback you might have under the<br>
"Site Feedback" category (<a href="https://discourse.vtk.org/c/site-feedback" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discourse.vtk.org/c/site-feedback</a>)<br>
on the site.<br>
<br>
To set up Discourse in mailing list mode, please see:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://discourse.vtk.org/t/using-discourse-as-a-mailing-list/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discourse.vtk.org/t/using-discourse-as-a-mailing-list/</a><br>
<br>
While we expect the bulk of VTK-related discussion to transition to<br>
Discourse fairly rapidly in the near term, the current<br>
<a href="mailto:vtkusers@vtk.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">vtkusers@vtk.org</a> and <a href="mailto:vtk-developers@vtk.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">vtk-developers@vtk.org</a> mailing lists will remain<br>
active until at least the middle of 2019, and the archives from these<br>
lists will remain available after that.<br>
<br>
See you on <a href="http://discourse.vtk.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">discourse.vtk.org</a>!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Cory<br>
