Hi Rolf, I just saw your mail yesterday. After making a quick survey here, we'll get 2 of them. Hope it's still possible to get it done. Skip this demand if it complicates too much your process. Thanks for your work. Yann.

You should use the EuroPVM registration page. This has worked for others.

Rich, for the Dublin meeting, I see that the $200 registration is open but what about the hotel? Should we use the EuroPVM registration page (even if we're not attending the conference afterwards?) or just register with the hotel directly?

Sept meeting
by Richard Graham 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

The first cut at an agenda for the Sept meeting has been posted, along with other information about this meeting. I have scheduled MPI 2.1, 2.2, and the three MPI 3.0 working groups we have agreed to focus on. I have not has any requests for meeting space from the other working groups, so if I don't get any more requests, I will fill in the remaining time slots with MPI 2.2, and FT working group times (I can also expand the RMA wg and Collectives wg time slot, if there is a request for this). Also, I have posted the latest set of dates for 2009. This is getting firmer, so now is a good time to raise any problems with this time. I understand that there are people that don't want the Nov meeting to happen right before SC, but seems like the majority are in favor of this, so we will keep the date as is, unless enough people express another opinion.

Dec meeting
by Richard Graham 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I have had several inquiries about the Dec. meeting of the MPI Forum. We are firm on the meeting location being in the bay area. The exact location is still being determined. Sun will host this meeting again - thanks !!! - if their facilities are available, otherwise we will meet at a hotel. I will let people know as soon as I have exact details ironed out. Also, the Feb meeting will also be in the bay area, for those wanting to know this. I hope this week to update the meeting locations and dates for 2009, based on the discussion in the last meeting.

Oct meeting hotel rooms, and more
by Richard Graham 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

We need a head count for hotel rooms at the Airport Marriott in Chicago for the October meeting, so that we can book rooms at the hotel. Attendance was low when head-count for this was taken in Menlo Park. The hotel rate will be the government rate (I think it is $149 at that time of year). Please let me know by the end of this week when you will need a room. Also, registration for the Dublin meeting should be up soon. It will be $200/person. Thanks, Rich
