    • Should we move April meeting to April 3 or cancel? Or leave it?
    • April 10 is Good Friday, may be a holiday for some
      • No one has it as a holiday
    • No champions for keeping the meeting, so all agree to cancel
  • Website move
    • Pmix.org is currently owned and maintained by Ralph in Wordpress
    • Want to move to another platform so it is easy to maintain as a group
    • Moving website to github pages for standard repository and take down pmix.org and redirect to github pages
    • Standard related material will stay on new website, implementation details will move to Open PMIx github pages
  • Q4 2020 Quarterly Meeting Discussion
    • Will consider virtual meeting if needed, but far enough away that we are not making any decisions now
  • PMIx Standard: Open GitHub Issues and PRs
  • PMIx Governance: Open GitHub Issues and PRs
  • Working group updates
    • Stephen Herbein: Slicing/Grouping of functionality
      • Polishing up business card exchange, hybrid programming, debugging/tools
      • Integration of use cases into standard
        • Looking into making use-cases “first class” within the standard (potentially their own chapters) with references down to an appendix with the full definitions of the interfaces/attributes/etc
        • Looking into available latex functionality
    • Shane Snyder: Storage
      • Looking into extending existing system query interface. Specifically how to query storage system bandwidth, capacity, etc. Requires a way to identify and reference different systems (e.g., lustre, burst buffer). Requires a way to reference data
      • Need a way to reference storage systems, e.g., global fs (lustre), specific burst buffer, etc. and how do you reference data. Examples with file paths is understandable, but others like DAOS may be more unique to see how best to query/format
      • Will start by prototyping with a few storage systems. Looking for volunteers from PMIx side for folks that might have ability to help prototype with Lustre and DAOS, etc.
      • Moving time for WG meeting -- will send out info later today
    • Jai Dayal: Dynamic workflows
      • Jai not available
      • Ralph update summary - Argonne discussion with Swift work that would fit well with PMIx. Plan to work with this on Summit for prototyping changes.
      • Adding REST interfaces back for interaction with Slurm
    • Dave Solt: Implementation agnostic document
      • Dave not available
      • Katheryn update summary - reviewing Ch3 constants/err-codes with intent of removing any implementation specific items. Currently working through document to see how used in document to review usage and plan is to have a plenary at quartly on those finding to get feedback on those investigations from others in PMIx community.
