IRC

There is an IRC channel called #flink dedicated to Apache Flink at irc.freenode.org. There is also a web-based IRC client available.

The IRC channel can be used for online discussions about Apache Flink as community, but developers should be careful to move or duplicate all the official or useful discussions to the issue tracking system or dev mailing list.

Stack Overflow

Committers are watching Stack Overflow for the flink tag.

Make sure to tag your questions there accordingly to get answers from the Flink community.

Issue Tracker

We use JIRA to track all code related issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK.

All issue activity is also mirrored to the issues mailing list.
