There are several public and private mailing lists used by the Open MPI development team.

Public lists

The public lists are open to all, but every list requires a subscription in order to be able to post (some only allow restricted posting, such as the announcement list). See http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/ompi.php for more detail on the public lists:

Private lists

Why are there private lists in an open source project? There are a few reasons:

  1. The administrative group's duties include, among other things, resolving conflicts. These conversations are not intended to be public.
  2. Since the core development group contains several academics who rely on the "publish or perish" philosophy of competitive research, some discussions must be kept private until conference/journal papers can be written and published.
  3. Non-public information needs to be distributed among the core group that would not be good to be "Google-able", such as teleconference phone numbers/codes, trade show planning, etc.

Here are the private lists (admission to these lists is restricted):
