Open MPI Mailing Lists

Due to the ever-present problem of spam, we cannot accept posts from non-subscribers. If you are not subscribed with the address that you post from, you posts will be automatically discarded.

The following lists are available for the Open MPI community:

• Open MPI announcement list (USERS CANNOT POST TO THIS LIST)
  [ Subscribe, unsubscribe, or change options ]

  This is a low-volume list that is used to announce new version of Open MPI, important updates, etc. The list is only for announcements, so only the Open MPI development team can post to the list. Posts from outside the Open MPI development team will be automatically discarded.

  [ Subscribe, unsubscribe, or change options ]

  This list is used for developers who are working with the internals of Open MPI itself. Subscribers are welcome to post any topics dealing with the internal code of Open MPI are welcome on this list: questions, comments, bug reports, etc.

  Note that the Open MPI team uses this mailing list as one of many different types of communication about development. We also have a weekly engineering teleconference, we heavily use instant messenging between developers, and we use regular ol' phone calls, too. Meaning: you shouldn't expect to see all development discussion on this list.

• Bug activity list (USERS CANNOT POST TO THIS LIST)
  [ Subscribe, unsubscribe, or change options ]

  A mail is sent to this list for every action on an Open MPI bug. This is handy for those who want to keep up with bug activity. The only mail that comes across this list is sent from the bug tracking system; all manual posts are discarded.

• Subversion commit list, abbreviated (USERS CANNOT POST TO THIS LIST)
  [ Subscribe, unsubscribe, or change options ]

  A mail is sent to this list for every Subversion commit in the Open MPI code base. The mail includes a list of files that were changed, the developer's commit message, and a diff of the changes. However, if the diff is larger than 40 kilobytes, it is not included in the mail. This is handy for those who want to keep up with commit activity but are subject to mailbox quotas. Only developers can post to this list; all other posts are automatically discarded.

• Subversion commit list, full (USERS CANNOT POST TO THIS LIST)
  [ Subscribe, unsubscribe, or change options ]

  A mail is sent to this list for every Subversion commit in the Open MPI code base. The mail includes a list of files that were changed, the developer's commit message, and a diff of the changes. Unliked the abbreviated list, the diff is always included in the e-mail, regardless of size. Only developers can post to this list; all other posts are automatically discarded.
