Notes

• Notes:
• PMIx v4.2 update
  • Note: To hit 4.2 schedule, need to have items for Q4 meeting deadline (19-sep)
• PMIx v5.1 update
  • Reminder: Errata items from v4.2 need to be merged into v5.1
• PMIx v6?
  • No immediate items to warrant v6 yet
• WG updates
  • IAWG: Continue to review Ch.12, almost ready to open PR – likely something ready at next quarterly mtg.  This would be part of v5.1.
  • TDWWG: Making push to implement dynamic group creation (grow/shrink), most on implementation and less on standardization currently.  Currently, no known standard level issues.  Also, MPI Session level support for grow/shrink as demonstration of this capability.
• PMIx Governance PRs
  • none
• PMIX Standard PRs
  • In progress
  • (PRs485-489) Voted in last quarterly, going to confirm procedures before merge
• Other items
  • PR484 needs reading and possibly further discussion
  • PR400 needs text
• Standard Drift Issues
  • Some work but needs attention by group
  • No new in past 2 weeks for v4 drift
  • Issue455 - needs changes to chapter API struct, possibly some information is redundant (e.g., \summary and \descr sections), so may want to revise format to avoid duplicate text.  Might be an overall document editor level change.  Plan to see if there is good reason for one way or other based on use elsewhere in doc.
