Community¶
If you have questions about anything regarding the Librem 5, we would really like to hear from you and there are a couple of recommended ways to contact us and join the fun. We have mailing lists for users and developers as well as Matrix chat rooms where volunteers hang out with people from the Purism team. These places are great locations to introduce yourself and ask questions.
Email Lists¶
Discuss software development with the team and other community members. Depending on the level of involvement that you’re seeking, you can sign up for any/all of these email lists where you can follow development and ask questions:
- librem-5-announce@lists.community.puri.sm
- General Librem 5 announcements (low volume, read only)
- librem-5-dev@lists.community.puri.sm
- For all sorts of development conversations. This list will be very technical in nature so join the fun!
- librem-5-users@lists.community.puri.sm
- For general users of the Librem 5 that are not so interested in the nitty gritty technical details.
- all@lists.community.puri.sm
- All announcements to all community members
For the mailing lists, there is no account setup required. Just subscribe, see a full list here.
