This is just GREAT.  :)
I was reading he thread about the problems MauryG5 is having with his AMD NAVI graphics card and thinking how difficult  it would have been, especially for a Linux newbee, to have gotten to the bottom of his problem on IRC.

I do hope more people will be signing on here. I only stumbled on the link on Twitter, where I seldom visit.

Sorry JollyRoger; not so much a shipmate yet, as an x86 landlubber who dreams of the open sea, but has only gone as far as exploring the wreck of G4 dinghy found beached on the shore. ;)

Outside of Twitter, there is an official OpenPOWER (and PPC) community mailing list, though it sees little activity,
http://lists.mailinglist.openpowerfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/openpower-community-dev

and discussion in a Level1Techs thread (hi q66), including a post about this very same topic of people/discussions being scattered across different platforms,
https://forum.level1techs.com/t/the-power-and-powerpc-general-discussion-news-thread/122515/245

Also, if I read the sidebar correctly, ClassicHasClass’s Talospace blog is willing to take guest posts too, right? So it, with its comments sections, can be a watering hole of sorts as well,
https://www.talospace.com/



Maybe there should probably be a dedicated community page on the RCS Wiki, rather than just linking to a few places in the main page’s footer?

Edit: Sorry if that everyone already knew about those, just writing my silly ahoy response and leaving it at that felt a bit empty.

Yes, guest posts are welcome, subject to editing for accuracy and house style. Do note they would be uncompensated (the money I make basically pays the domain name and defrays a sliver of Floodgap's hosting costs), but your writing would remain yours.

And welcome.

Dear friends of the Power community, I take up this treed to address especially the new arrivals. When you sign up for the forum, try to put some more information such as your country of origin. This can help you integrate better into the community and find any users from the same country with whom to exchange information and much more which I think is not bad indeed it can be an advantage ...! So please do not be shy, we are here on purpose to always improve the integration and development of the Power world!
