Open MPI Weekly Telcon

Seems like no one is doing v3.0 testing or reporting back to MTT.
- Only v3.0 results are being submitted by LLNL only on Cray.
Discussion about lack of focus on v3.0 branch.
What are folks impressions?
- IBM want's v3.0 this summer (as currently planned)
- Discussion that time based releases require sticking with schedule.
- MUST have folks start contributing MTT testing.
Bad spike yesterday, new tests added, and need to wait for PRs for them to resolve.
PMIx v2.0 is off track, and may not be able to hit.
- Last major piece needed (and needed ASAP) is the PMIx backwards compatibility.
Comm create quite slow, decision was to NOT bring in v3.0.
- Release managers will get on phone and make a decision about this, and then roll a v2.1.1.
v3.0 Support items:
- 64bit
- MacOSX10.12
- FreeBSD
- Cisco MTT is going -m32 builds.
Ralph is trying to track all of these RTE changes. "How do we want to do this?"
- If we break them up, then we might run into problems that things might be problematic.
  - Do you want to break them UP? More risky and more work, but bigger commit.
Jeff just found some PRs that weren't PRed to v3.0.
- He had a to-do, from Master, but not sure if it went to other branches.
- Nathan saw Jeff's PR, and pointed him at open PR (waiting on Jeff's review)
- Neither apply to v2.0 or v2.x
- Some one-sided things have happened.

When having discussion about a PR, please ONLY PR it to master, and only after the discussion has completed, PR that to other branches. Multiple PRs for "the same" content confuses the discussion.
Something slipped into Master recently, and Fortran Tests are failing.
- PR will randomly fail as a result.
PR build checker does run a sanity test on 2 hosts.

Made a change to ONLY allow Open MPI community members trigger build / test of PRs to prevent possible malicious commit PRs.

Request for folks to conclude discussion about PR2941
- Jeff will refresh and comment on.
Face2Face -
- As of right now Coppell only has two weeks available: June 27-29 and July 4-6
- Biggest Yeses is July 11 - 13. Decision July 11-13
  - Chicago is biggest winner, Cisco and IBM will discuss room reservations.
