Review 2.0.x

Review Master MTT testing (https://mtt.open-mpi.org/)

MTT Dev status:

New Items:

  • Gentle reminder that lots of 2.0.1 PRs haven't been reviewed yet.

  • Migration ongoing, nothing's moved yet, just testing:

    • 6 domains (open[-]mpi.[org|com|net]) and their DNS servers transferred to new account on GoDaddy
    • ompiteam@gmail.com account created
      • all contribution paper work stored in Google Drive
      • want to release new version of contribution agreements (v1.6) with that email address for submissions
    • github web hooks
      • ompi-release-bot: not yet migrated
      • gitdub (commit emails): not yet migrated
    • HostGator plan purchased (thank you for the donation, Ralph!)
    • legacy @open-mpi.org email addresses
      • setup at HostGator
    • Main web site is 3 parts:
      • ompi-www repo: done (had to fix some PHP)
      • nightly tarballs: done (now being generated on Ralph's home server and scp'ed)
      • mailing list archives: ...see proposal below...
    • Mailing list
      • Hostgator support mailman (yay!); they can supposedly import our existing config
    • Trac (historical/read-only)
      • Still planning the migration
    • MTT:
      • Still planning the migration
    • Mailing list archives proposal:
      • Important to keep the old web archives around for all the commit messages and bug/issues that point to them
      • Also, huge amount of google-able answers to user questions
      • ...but why are we hosting our own mail archives?
    • Proposal: freeze the old pages and do all new archiving on mail-archive.com
      • Trivial to setup (subscribe them to our lists)
      • They can take old mbox archives to seed all the old messages
      • Stable platform: been running since 1998
      • Free!
      • Searchable
    • Discussion - why move legal docs to google drive? Fracturing information a bit.
      • familiar with google toolset, and possibly better sharing. Also long term plan to possibly host domains at google.
      • Could consolidate DNS and docs to godaddy / hostgator also.
      • can hostgater give us different passwords to different people? It'd be nice to consolidate to one solution for everything (and single authentication for members).
    • Updating Legal agreement to reflect to contributions@openmpi.org, and remove snail mail.
    • Mailing lists have some nice integrations that we can't move forward? Why are we doing this anyway.
      • Jeff looked at a couple, and liked mailarchive.com - long lived, and 3 nice features:
        • Will take old archives and recreate on their servers.
        • Remove a bit of burden from our website.
        • A way to configure GNU mailmain to precompute URL of where mail will be before it sends out.
          • Pipermail may be able to do this also, but don't know.
      • Hostgator would accept our old configurations, not sure if they'll take our mbox / pipermail for archives.
        • Ralph will dig into Hostgator.
    • Token amount (about $50)
      • Need a legal entity (individual or company) to open an account with.
      • Mellanox already does this for MPI Forum, so might be easy for them to do for this too.
      • weird to be under an individual. Want an online storefront that will provide a receipt.
      • First bill about $300 in September for github.
      • Ralph has agreed to pay first 3 years of Hostgator (around $400/3 years, may go up a bit).
      • Domain name re-registration coming up in March 2017.

    • Artem sent out message rate email.
  2. Sandia
  3. Intel
