V4L, DVB and Maintainers Mailing Lists at linux-media@vger.kernel.org

<p>V4L, DVB and V4L/DVB Maintainers Mailing Lists Were merged on Jan, 2 2009 at 
<a href="http://vger.kernel.org">vger.kernel.org</a></p>

<p>The idea of merging the mailing lists is running around for some time.</p>

<p>It took some time for me to have time to address this issue, but it finally 
happened. We've just created it as:<br>
<ul>
<a href="http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media">linux-media@vger.kernel.org</a></li></ul>
</p>

<p>The new mailing list will be the main place for discussing both V4L and DVB developments. It 
replaces the previous 
<a href="http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/v4l-dvb-maintainer">V4L/DVB Maintainers 
List</a>.</p>

<p>It is expected that it will gradually replace the
<a href="http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/">DVB Mailing List</a>
and
<a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list">V4L Mailing List</a> as user forums 
for V4L/DVB discussions.</p>

<p>Having the mailing list hosted at <a href="http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media">vger.kernel.org</a> 
has some 
advantages:</p>

<ul>
<li>VGER is the place where almost all Linux Kernel subsystems are discussed;</li>
<li>Their anti-spam filters are very efficient. This way, the same list can be used to handle 
patch submissions and bug reports from non-subscribers without the risk of receiving lots of 
trash.</li>
</ul>

<p>As a bonus, we now have the <a href="http://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-media/list/"> 
Patchwork tool</a> for automatically storing the patches sent to 
<a href="http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media">linux-media@vger.kernel.org</a>
and efficiently retrieving the patch history. This allows the developers to do a
better job of handling patches without the risk of having patches lost
somewhere.</p>

<p>I kindly want to invite you all, and specially those of you that want to help on the development 
and improvement of linux video input infrastructure to 
<a href="mailto:majordomo&#64;vger.kernel.org?body=subscribe&#32;linux-media">subscribe
