Hi, Basically, my course is about Open source code development, where students join existing open source projects and add code to it (much like in Google summer of code). As a grad student with a thesis involving Open-MPI, I know there is much to learn from is as a case study, and so I plan to spend most of the time (the entire lecture is about 2 hours) on technical aspects of the Open-MPI project (e.g. the layered structure, the MCA, etc.). With that said, I would also like to talk a little about the project from another point of view: How did the project form, who is the development community, how new code is contributed to the code-base (who writes it and who reviews it), and how does one join the project. I'm not sure there is any material about the latter, but I'd appreciate it if someone could help me find some material to begin with towards the lecture.
By the way, I've been looking for good MPI(2) advanced programming material (including advanced use of collective operations) for another course I was TAing (distributed computing applications). I ended up writing some by myself, but if there are some - that would be great.
