Open MPI Weekly Telecon ---

No v4.0 rc this week. Issue #8246: ROMIO/Luster -
Thought 4.0.x was on track for an RC, but RM's now want a better idea of Luster problem. Need to do ROMIO refresh to 3.3.2. Lots of changes between 3.3 and 3.3.2.
- Pretty large delta for a release branch.
- Want to get a better understanding of what's going on before another rc.
- It may be that the right thing to do is put this on 4.1.x instead of 4.0.x.
Thinking of putting all unit tests for ROMIO into IBM folder. It might help catch this issue earlier.
This is highest priority for RM's- Howard will start testing new ROMIO this week to see if it fixes the issue. Issue #8217: Memory leaks -
Do we have a PR on this?
- Asked creator of ticket - we don't think he created a PR yet.
Would be easy for us to create the PR.
- Howard/Geoff Paulsen will try to do this patch next week.
Almost all of this patch will apply to 4.1.x as well. Issue #8252:
Thomas Naughton found an issue with UCX in OSU benchmark. Issue opened.

Was close to an rc. Had the tarball's ready. But #8246 is holding it up now.
- If upgrading ROMIO is part of the solution, it is best to put it now.
Other than that, RM's believe they have everything ready for an rc.
Going to go ahead and release an rc anyway, so please test it!
- Not going to lose anything if RM's do another rc with new ROMIO.
Ralph is still getting a flood of warnings on v4.1.x.
- Jeff Squyres will take a look again.

No updates from RM's. Haven't met in a couple weeks due to conflicting schedules.
Ralph has updated PMIx/PRRTE pointers.

MTT master failures:

MTT compile failures with Clang.
Invalid window failures.
- Jeff Squyres will ask Nathan Hjelm. These are happening because OSC pt2pt is gone.
Attribute tests reporting an invalid communicator.
Other than that, MTT looks pretty clean on master.
