Agenda

Review 1.10

Review 2.0.x

  • Wiki: https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/wiki/Releasev20
  • Blocker Issues: https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+milestone%3Av2.0.0+label%3Ablocker *
  • Milestones: https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi-release/milestones/v2.0.0
    • Pathsacale version issue
    • SLURM direct launch wont work with Yalla (due to PMIx-Fence issue (it was changed to nonblocking)).
      • It's okay, since it will be fixed in 2.0.1 soon after.
  • Plan for 2.0.1? If we ship 2.0.0 today.
    • First delay a bit.
    • Next cherry pick fixes into 2.0.1, and try to release about a month after 2.0.0.
    • Concern that we're releasing a 2.0.0 release, and then turn around another month with a 2.0.1
      • Some customers don't like this.
      • Other customers are waiting for 2.0.0.
    • Put a Known issues section for fixes coming into 2.0.1.
      • Don't have a section for this in NEWS, because in the past we've held the release, and tried for perfection.
      • will merge Howard's README for PCI, and if Paul provides better compiler versions, we'll merge that in too.
    • Don't anticipate reving PMIx versions for 2.0.1
    • Don't have a timeline for 2.1.0
      • A couple of months. Schedule decided by what we discuss in Dallas.
  • Merge ompi and ompi-release repos - now taking a 2ndary priority, because we need to transition other webstuff to new provider.

Review Master MTT testing (https://mtt.open-mpi.org/)

MTT Dev status:

New Items:

  • Migration ongoing, nothing's moved yet, just testing:
    • 6 domains (open[-]mpi.[org|com|net]) and their DNS servers transferred to new account on GoDaddy
    • [email protected] account created
      • all contribution paper work stored in Google Drive
      • want to release new version of contribution agreements (v1.6) with that email address for submissions
    • github web hooks
      • ompi-release-bot: not yet migrated
      • gitdub (commit emails): not yet migrated
    • HostGator plan purchased (thank you for the donation, Ralph!)
    • legacy @open-mpi.org email addresses
      • setup at HostGator
    • Main web site is 3 parts:
      • ompi-www repo: done (had to fix some PHP)
      • nightly tarballs: done (now being generated on Ralph's home server and scp'ed)
      • mailing list archives: ...see proposal below...
    • Mailing list
      • Hostgator support mailman (yay!); they can supposedly import our existing config
    • Trac (historical/read-only)
      • Still planning the migration
    • MTT:
      • Still planning the migration
    • Mailing list archives proposal:
      • Important to keep the old web archives around for all the commit messages and bug/issues that point to them
      • Also, huge amount of google-able answers to user questions
      • ...but why are we hosting our own mail archives?
    • Proposal: freeze the old pages and do all new archiving on mail-archive.com
      • Trivial to setup (subscribe them to our lists)
      • They can take old mbox archives to seed all the old messages
      • Stable platform: been running since 1998
      • Free!
      • Searchable
    • Discussion - why move legal docs to google drive? Fracturing information a bit.
      • familiar with google toolset, and possibly better sharing. Also long term plan to possibly host domains at google.
      • Could consolidate DNS and docs to godaddy / hostgator also.
      • can hostgater give us different passwords to different people? It'd be nice to consolidate to one solution for everything (and single authentication for members).
    • Updating Legal agreement to reflect to [email protected], and remove snail mail.
    • Mailing lists have some nice integrations that we can't move forward? Why are we doing this anyway.
      • Jeff looked at a couple, and liked mailarchive.com - long lived, and 3 nice features:
        • Will take old archives and recreate on their servers.
        • Remove a bit of burden from our website.
        • A way to configure GNU mailmain to precompute URL of where mail will be before it sends out.
          • Pipermail may be able to do this also, but don't know.
      • Hostgator would accept our old configurations, not sure if they'll take our mbox / pipermail for archives.
        • Ralph will dig into Hostgator.
    • Token amount (about $50)
      • Need a legal entity (individual or company) to open an account with.
      • Mellanox already does this for MPI Forum, so might be easy for them to do for this too.
      • weird to be under an individual. Want an online storefront that will provide a receipt.
      • First bill about $300 in September for github.
      • Ralph has agreed to pay first 3 years of Hostgator (around $400/3 years, may go up a bit).
      • Domain name re-registration coming up in March 2017.
