<li> <code>dev@</code> is for discussions about contributing to the project development {% include mailing_list_links.html list="dev" %} </li>
</ul>

When emailing one of the lists, you may want to prefix the subject line with
one or more tags, like `[C++] why did this segfault?`, `[Python] trouble with
wheels`, etc., so that the appropriate people in the community notice the
message.
#### Tags

The mailing lists follow the convention of prefixing subjects with one or more
tags in order to clarify the scope and purpose of messages. For example:

- [ANNOUNCE] Apache Arrow 11.0.0 released
- [DISCUSS][C++] C++ API as a user-facing API
- [Java][Arrow IPC] Extreme memory usage when reading feather files

When emailing one of the lists, please prefix the subject line with one or more
tags. Depending the topic of your email, tags may include one or more:

- Supported Enivronments: e.g., `[C++]`, `[Java]`, `[Python]`, etc.
- Specifications and Protocols: e.g., `[Format]`, `[Flight RPC]`, `[ADBC]`, etc.

You may also prefix your subject line with `[DISCUSS]` if your email is intended
to prompt a discussion rather than get an answer to a specific question.

#### Voting

Votes are held periodically on the dev@ mailing list and are indicated by the
`[VOTE]` prefix. These votes are part of the formal [Apache Software Foundation
voting process](https://community.apache.org/committers/voting.html). Members of
the community are encouraged to engage with these posts by replying with a body
of "+1 (non-binding)" if they are in support of the respective proposal. The
result of a vote will be posted back to the dev@ mailing list with the prefix
`[RESULT][VOTE]`.

#### Other Lists
