Project Randy
Utkarsh recently performed two patches that should effect some performance issues when running pvserver interactive on large numbers of cores. There were apparent issues with the report progress events. One patch fixes an out-and-out problem and the other turns off progress events. Alan will test these on large core counts soon.
Nathan has been having troubles acquiring large jobs to tests his latest coprocessing code. He will work with Alan to reserve some time on a large computer.
3.8 Release
3.8.0 is out. Hopefully be able to branch 3.8.1 the end of last week.
There was confusion about when 3.8.0 was going to come out. A particular Sandian was expecting it much sooner than it actually came. In the future, it would be helpful if there were more frequent messages on the mailing list concerning when the next release is expected and whether people can squeak things in.
Transition to git
Branchy workflow. Tie in to stronger dashboard.
Install hooks in CMake?
Book omissions and errata
Lisa is going to create a bug-tracker like functionality for the Kitware books.
