  • PMIx standardization process
    • Discussion of https://github.com/pmix/pmix-standard/issues/181#issuecomment-491351488
      • Without levels: a straw vote of participants might be too light of a process. Let’s make sure more folks are looking at the discussion that might not have otherwise been paying attention - gather voices from the community.
      • With levels: straw vote of participants may be fine.
      • Suggestion to table this majority decision until a later time. Leave the language loose for now.
      • Proposal: Don’t hold PR 183 for 3 remaining items. Keep issue open until the three issues below are resolved.
        • Delay for reasonable amount of time
        • Levels
        • Majority straw voting in extraordinary circumstances
      • Reading of PR 183 for 2 weeks from today.
    • Discussion of https://github.com/pmix/pmix-standard/issues/179
      • Level 1:
        • Interface can change via a deprecation mechanism
        • A bit more flexible in its lifespan
      • Level 2:
        • Stronger deprecation mechanism
      • Interesting comment about difference between ‘API’ and ‘Attributes’
      • Idea: Make separate documents that only have ‘level 2’ vs ‘level 1 + 2’ to help users only see the ‘level 2’ document.
      • Needs more thinking/discussion
  • https://github.com/pmix/pmix-standard/pull/187
    • No objection - Merged
  • https://github.com/pmix/pmix-standard/pull/188
    • From a Typo PR to merge
      • Should there be a fast track for those types of changes?
      • Yes. Give the community some time to review. At least 2 reviewers then merge.
      • ‘Ask for forgiveness policy’ so it can be taken back out for discussion if there is an issue.
  • Need for a crisp scope statement for PMIx
  • (Dave) Working group: Implementation agnostic document
    • Met on Tuesday and looked at the first chapter.
    • Still reviewing the document to identify places that need to be reviewed/refined
  • (Stephen) Working group: Slicing/Grouping of functionality
  • (Josh) Use Case gathering
    • Will bring over wireup discussion, and some of the RFC use cases
    • Once these are posted then we can reach out to others
  • https://github.com/pmix/pmix-standard/issues
