If you are already subscribed to one of the old mailing list addresses your subscription was automatically transfered to the new one so you don’t need to do anything on your part.

New addresses can be found bellow.

SVN repositories

• Main code repository: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/libcloud/

Note to the committers

CMS part of the website hasn’t been fully migrated yet. In the mean time, please try to avoid editing raw HTML files, because this means we will need to manually edit markdown files again when the CMS stuff is migrated.
