    • Ralph will be moving to new projects in Jan. but will remain involved with PMIx.
    • TODO for all:

  • Software in the Public Interest (SPI)

    • https://www.spi-inc.org
    • Fiscal sponsorship discussion for handling financial items of non-profit, useful for collecting registration fees, payment of domain registrations, etc.
    • Provide legal assistance, technical services, asset stewardship (e.g., servers)
    • Open MPI uses SPI and  had favorable experience so far
    • SPI initially did not accept PMIx, but that was prior to increased participation and anticipate that will not be an issue now.
    • Plan is to pursue SPI membership
    • FiscalSponsorship slides: pdf, pptx

  • 2020 Year-end video

    • Idea to prepare something for outreach, e.g., like BoF at SC, but something outside of SC.  Like to showcase PMIx/OpenPMIx community for others to see progress.
    • Idea to get WG leads to have short updates/future plans and prepare video and then post online.  Timeframe is before next ASC (Jan’21) meeting.  Interested in thoughts, ideas for format, etc.
    • Please contact chairs if have ideas/content to contribute

  • Working Group Updates

    • Slicing/Grouping (Stephen)
      • Conflict so not able to attend this meeting
    • Storage (shane)
      • Update to PR based on prior meeting feedback has been done
        • Will present again at next ASC meeting
        • Will send a note when ready for reviews (probably in Jan)
      • Starting to think about next ideas,will flesh out in more detail in future meetings
    • Dynamic workflows (Jai unable to attend, Ralph gave a quick overview)
      • Conflict so not able to attend this meeting
      • Working on how to move forward.  Had several workflow teams that reinvent the same wheel related to process mgmt and end up needing PMIx functionality.
      • Groups are interested in using PRRTE/PMIx, but not have immediate funding to facilitate so having some challenges with getting things moving forward.  One group can do under their funding, but needs assistance and others possibly getting future funding.
      • Possibly if ECP projects, could get some assistance under that program - keyword here is “Contingency Funding Request”
      • GPU additions planned from Jai at next ASC (not sure about timeframe, was general comment from WG member)
    • Implementation agnostic document (Dave unable to attend, Kathryn gave a quick overview)
      • Group continues to update text, not sure if plan to have reading for next ASC meeting

  • Next Quarterly deadline for contrib is Feb 2  (see top level description for details)
