Re: [Mpi-forum] Deadline for next year's release

dear all, isn't the a large part of all these problems the self-imposed deadlines and self-imposed yearly releases? Is there really consensus that this is the way to proceed? As some of you know, I'm not so happy with the state of 2.2 and think we would have done better by not being so strict about the Helsinki/SC deadline, and I do not think that we do any good (to the user community, to ourselves) by continuing this way. I also agree that waiting for 3 years (until MPI 3.0) for something like NBC is not at all a good idea.

I apologize to all for the confusion that my first message in this thread lead to. I failed to give the proper context, which then led to lots of email hell. I think the subsequent emails have clarified much; thanks guys. I do believe that there is still some debate about what exactly to call the SC'10 and SC'11 releases. I think the main point of my email was to say that if you want something in the SC'10 release, by our defined procedures (1st reading, 2 votes, etc.), it needs to be ready by March. Some things are ready already or are close -- it was meant to be a "heads up" for the WGs who are not [well] represented here in Helsinki that we likely will have *something* to release at SC'10 (regardless of what it is called -- "3.0" or otherwise), and that March is the last meeting to have a 1st reading.

Per http://meetings.mpi-forum.org/secretary/2009/09/agenda.php, the MPI-2.2 voting session is Fri, Sep 4, 11-11:30am Helsinki time. Sorry, I thought Bill had sent out the webex info for the voting session, but I think he got caught on a plane when I sent him the info. I'll forward it to the list shortly.

What was said today is that we would like to have a first release of new MPI functionality 3 years after the start of the current forum, which will be around SC'10. This keeps with the current trend of an annual update. To meet this goal, first reading needs to be next spring. What does not make it into that release will need to be a year later, as we want to get nonblocking collrctives out the door.
