Website/Lists/limited access

The Document Foundation strives for and pro-actively works towards fostering an environment of collaborative work which is fully open and inclusive. Clear channels of communications between all the varied participants in such a distributed environment is paramount in attaining such a goal.

However in the course of exercising necessary oversight and prudence a small set of mailing lists with limited, non public, access are necessary.

In order to best address the competing needs of openness on the one hand and the requirement, from time to time, of confidentiality on the other such standing limited access (private) mailing lists are publicly disclosed here.

The Document Foundation also creates limited access mailing lists for use for specific, one time, events where confidentiality is again a requirement. For an example: use of a private list in vetting submitter papers to an upcoming conference.
