Hello everybody, I am Harshit Bansal, a first year undergraduate student from Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, Kanpur, looking to contribute to the GNU Mailman project for the upcoming Google Summer of Code program. I am very proficient in C and python. I also have a good grasp over the concepts of cryptography. I also have an intermediate level of experience in JavaScript. Currently, I am going through the codebase, the mail archives and documentation of GNU Mailman and trying to set up the development environment for the GNU Mailman and finding some simple bugs to work on. Looking forward to contributing to GNU Mailman through this year's GSOC program. Thanks, Harshit Bansal, B.Tech.(IT), HBTI, Kanpur.

Glad to hear that! Keep us informed about what you're doing, and also any problems you have even if you can resolve them yourself. We want the experience for non-developer users to be as smooth as possible.

Re: [Mailman-Developers] Facing error while building mailman

by Abhilash Raj

Hi Anirudh, Can you tell us a few other things too? Which version of Mailman are you using? (From the django output in the trace I am guessing it is 3.0, but just to confirm). What do you mean by behind a proxy? Is the server behind a proxy and the client/Postorius trying to access the server through proxy? I *think* Postorius/HK is not Django 1.9+ compatible for some reason, can you try out with django version <=1.8?

You can start by reading a bit about mailman from the website (list.org) and digging out getting started guide. I could give you the direct links, but it isn't really very hard to find them I guess. Let me know if you really don't really find the Getting Started Guide on http://wiki.list.org or http://list.org. Make sure that you look for Mailman Suite 3.0 and not mailman 2.0 which is not actively developed now. After you think you know enough about Mailman, you can then try to fix some small easy bugs in Mailman core or any of its sister projects (Postorius - the Web UI, Hyperkitty - the Archiver, Client - Python bindings). There might be less number or bugs actually tagged "easy" or "beginner friendly", but you can explore other bugs too. If you have any problems/questions, ask questions here or on #mailman on Freenode(IRC). -- thanks, Abhilash Raj

The above error indicates you are using ssh to clone the repository from gitlab but you haven't registered and provided an ssh public key on gitlab. The easiest way around this is to use http instead. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

Mailman 3: some non member allowed to post on a mailing list

by Étienne Loks

Hi, I'm beginning to use mailman 3. One of the nice feature in mailman 2 was the ability to allow specific non-member of a list to post in it. I don't find a way to do this in mailman 3 and as far as I understand this page http://www.pythonhosted.org/mailman/src/mailman/model/docs/membership.html it seems that there is no automatic way of dealing with this. Am I wrong? -- Étienne Loks

Building mailman

by Rishab Jaju

Hi all, I am trying to build mailman. I assume these are the instructions: http://wiki.list.org/HyperKitty/DevelopmentSetupGuide Although the page is for Hyperkitty, I assume that others will be built in the same way since that is the only page I could find. I can't clone the repositories from gitlab. It gives me the following error: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. How do I solve that error? Also, am I following the correct build instructions? Thanks, Rishab.

Re: [Mailman-Developers] GSoC 2016 wiki page now up!

by Terri Oda

Some of last year's page will totally be valid, for sure! But there have definitely been changes, and some old ideas that no one's gotten excited about will likely be rotated out. One big change is the switch to gitlab, which means some of our instructions have to change and it even affects some of the projects (there's one up there now for GitLab integration that used to be described as primarily about GitHub integration!)
