Support

Mailing Lists

Our users support each other on a community unmoderated mailing list (htcondor-users@cs.wisc.edu) targeted at solving problems with HTCondor. HTCondor team members attempt to monitor traffic to htcondor-users, responding as they can. Follow the instructions at http://htcondor.org/mail-lists. If you have a question or potential bug report for HTCondor that can be asked on a public mailing list, this is the first place to go.

In addition, there is a very low-volume e-mail list at htcondor-world@cs.wisc.edu. We use this e-mail list to announce new releases of HTCondor and other major HTCondor-related news items. To subscribe or unsubscribe from the list, follow the instructions at http://htcondor.org/mail-lists. The HTCondor World e-mail list group is moderated, and only major announcements of wide interest are distributed.
