### 6.1 Support from IBM

OpenDX is no longer supported by IBM; however, many of the developers still answer questions on the OpenDX mailing lists.

### 6.2 Commercial Support

A few vendors provide commercial technical support. One such vendor is Visualization and Imagery Solutions, Inc. Other vendors can be found in the community links at www.opendx.org

### 6.3 Support from the Data Explorer User Community

There are a number of resources that can be used to get support, information and publicly available software related to Data Explorer from other Data Explorer users. These include the following:

`comp.graphics.apps.data-explorer`
  Fairly inactive usenet newsgroup, for better response, use the mailing lists.
Mailing Lists
  There are four mailing lists; opendx-dev, opendx-users, opendx-general, and opendx-announce. If you want to subscribe, just send a mail message to <majordx@opendx.watson.ibm.com> with the following in the message body (not the subject!). (The "end" keeps Majordomo from trying to treat any signature text as commands.)
  `subscribe list-name
  end`
