AG Technical Resources

Mailing lists

The following sets forth the many official mailing lists that are currently in place in connection with the official Access Grid project. (They include @mcs.anl.gov and @accessgrid.org domains.) A description of the proper usage of each is provided.

Our monthly technical meeting series, up-to-date announcements, future newsletters, automated procedures, and productive mailing lists below, ensure our expanding AG community stays well informed and connected at every level.

Our main mailing list tends to still be ag-tech@mcs.anl.gov. The ag-tech mailing list is a good resource for anyone involved in building, running, or using the Access Grid.

You can subscribe by sending mail to majordomo@mcs.anl.gov and including the following in the message body:
