<h1>Getting Help</h1>
<p>You can stay up to date with the Pacemaker project by subscribing to our
<!--p><a href="http://twitter.com/beekhof">Twitter
feed</a></li-->
<a href="http://theclusterguy.clusterlabs.org/">news</a> and/or
<a href="/wiki/Special:RecentChanges">site updates</a> feeds.
</p>
<p>
A good first step is always to check out
the <a href="/faq.html">FAQ</a>
and <a href="/doc/">documentation</a>. Otherwise, many
members of the community hang out
on <a href="irc://irc.freenode.org#clusterlabs">irc</a>
and are happy to answer questions. We are spread out over
many timezones though (and have day jobs), so you may need
to be patient when waiting for a reply.
</p>
<p>
Extended or complex issues might be better sent to the
relevant <a href="/wiki/Mailing_lists">mailing list(s)</a>
(you'll need to subscribe in order to send messages).
Don't worry if you pick the wrong one, many of us are on
multiple lists and someone will suggest a more appropriate
forum if necessary.
</p>
<p>
People new to the project, or Open Source generally, are
encouraged to
read <a href="http://www.mikeash.com/getting_answers.html">Getting
Answers</a> by Mike Ash from Rogue Amoeba. It provides
some very good tips on effective communication with groups
such as this one. Following the advice it contains will
greatly increase the chance of a quick and helpful reply.
</p>
<p>Bugs and other problems can also be reported
via <a href="http://bugs.clusterlabs.org/">Bugzilla</a>.
</p>
<p>
Or if you already know the
solution, <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests">submit
a patch</a> against
our <a href="http://github.com/ClusterLabs/pacemaker">GitHub
repository</a>
</p>
