We’ve created a couple of mailing lists for all things OpenFlow. If you’re interested in OpenFlow or are actively using OpenFlow then we encourage you to join one or more of the lists.

The new lists are:

• OpenFlow-announce — a low-volume list for OpenFlow announcements including new versions of the specification and reference design releases
• OpenFlow-discuss — a list for general discussion of OpenFlow related topics including deployment, use, applications, controller development
