Virtual MPI Forum Meeting Today/Wednesday May 27th 10am US Central Time
by Martin Schulz 27 May '20

27 May '20

Hi all, Just as a reminder, we have our next MPI Forum Virtual Meeting today (Wednesday) at the usual time at 10am US Central Time. The access link is, as usual, on the github page linked from the forum virtual meeting page. Agenda: - Go over progress made on assigned clean-up tickets - Deprecate MPI_HOST #57 (PR #221) (Julien) - Schedule other topics for virtual meetings, as needed If there are any other issues that we should discuss, please let Wesley and me know. As a reminder, there are several issues that require feedback from all chapter committees - they are assigned to all chapter chairs, but of course everyone in the CC should take a look at these as well. Wesley added a checkbox list into these tickets, so that CCs can check off a ticket once their chapter is done. Thanks!

by Wesley Bland 12 May '20

12 May '20

Hi all, Now that the meeting in June is official an exceptional virtual meeting, the registration page is now open here: https://forms.gle/Cr7zengLT9qiWzd78 <https://forms.gle/Cr7zengLT9qiWzd78> As with the meeting last week, registration is still required even though there is no registration fee and may be done up to the time of the first voting block. The logistics, agenda, and all of the other usual information is available on the website: https://www.mpi-forum.org/meetings/ <https://www.mpi-forum.org/meetings/> Note that while the current meeting times start and end times are accurate, the times for individual items are placeholders (including the voting block) and are subject to the whims of our distinguished leader. :) You can probably start sending your reading/vote/plenary requests to him to start filling that out more accurately. Thanks, Wes

Exceptional Virtual Meeting Vote Results
by Wesley Bland 07 May '20

07 May '20

Hi all, The results of yesterday’s vote are now posted on the website: https://www.mpi-forum.org/meetings/2020/05/votes <https://www.mpi-forum.org/meetings/2020/05/votes> The vote passed unanimously (27 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain). This means the ballot passed and I’ll update the procedures document based on these changes. Thanks for responding and letting me know about any issues you had. I believe only one person had major issues with this voting system and I’ll work with them to figure out what happened. If anyone else had problems, please let me know so we can work them out before the June meeting. Thanks, Wes
