(There will be a few more messages than usual on announce this month. Apologies, but I think it's easier to avoid putting everything into one enormous message.)

As part of the LAVA Software Community Project, there is a new IRC channel on Freenode aimed at any discussions around LAVA which do not relate to the use of LAVA within Linaro. The #linaro-lava channel remains open and will remain focused on discussions of problems and issues relating to LAVA instances operated by Linaro and other Linaro-centric topics.

Community members are invited to use the new channel to discuss anyting related to LAVA but not involving Linaro. Questions about your own instances, problems with new devices and general LAVA development questions. The new channel should make it is easier to respond to questions and discuss issues. The existing IRC guidelines apply, as does the LAVA Software Community Project Code of Conduct.

In addition, when asking questions on #lavasoftware, please include information on your LAVA setup - include information on the version of LAVA you are running and, if the instance is publicly-accessible, include the URL.

As always, complex questions about device integrations will typically require information like the device-type template, device dictionary and test job submission definition - you are much better to ask those questions by subscribing to and posting to the lava-users mailing list.
