  • Chris would like there to be more exposure of development planning to the user community
    • Interested in configuration (supporting more options in a config file that can be referenced) and networking plans

  • Tom thinks that problems have been fixed -- wants to test
  • Chris says that the sampler needs to use prolog and epilog hooks
    • Tom will put in these changes and push
    • Eric would like to see this also
      • Not so concerned about the multi-tennant scenario but behavior in this scenario should be well defined
      • Chris is not so concerned with this either

  • Chris would like the config file to be shared such that utilities such as streams and ldms_ls don't require so many config options
• @oceandlr will brave converting to organizational (enabling wiki write access etc) over break
