Community

Introduction

The illumos community is small but active. We welcome everybody who would like to use the software and participate in the community -- whether you've decades of experience in systems software, or you're just getting started; whether you work for a company that uses illumos, or you just find it personally interesting.

We try to be helpful and inclusive! It's not uncommon to see folks on both IRC and the mailing lists discussing a range of issues, both simple and complex. Whether you're just getting started, or you're debugging a difficult problem, you should be able to find the help you need.

The Golden Rule

Please be respectful and civil in your communications. Community participation is covered by a code of conduct, which all community members should read and follow. Harassment and other poor behavior will not be tolerated, and preventative action will be taken by moderators. If you would like to report an incident, please contact the moderation team as laid out in the code of conduct.
