Announcements and Email Lists
Announcements of interest to NERSC's user community are
made via email and saved in email archives.
NERSC also supports a number of user email lists.
NERSC email lists are managed by software called
Mailman.
A PDF introduction to Mailman can be found
here.
Further information on Mailman is available at the
GNU/Mailman site
The major lists and their archives are described in the following table.
Below the table are brief instructions about
how to subscribe
to these lists.
See also the News and Publications page for
organizational reports and announcements.
