In this paper we analyze open source communities and in particular developers mailing lists, in order to identify main community practice and behavior as far as communication is concerned. Developers Mailing Lists (ML) provide a discussion platform for developer knowledge and user needs. Thus, ML can be regarded as the means whereby the OS community becomes a learning community. We focused our attention on some of the most successful OS projects, and analyzing communication exchange in OS MLs, found that these communities are characterized by two main features: collaborative learning among developers and users and peer support among advanced users.
