ECP/VTK-m Project Management

Roundtable

Replacing Rob

• We could use a list of who is taking over what functionality.
• Rob reviewed a lot of MRs. Need others to step up to help.
  • Nick Thomposon steps up for some - particularly interested in scheduler
  • Hank suggestion: Ken assigns MR reviews from pool of reviewers
    • Need list of who is the pool and what their preferences are
• We need the contact of who is managing the CMake/HIP (Zack?)
  • Zack Galbreath. Berk on top of some of the latest stuff
• Who is responsible for dashboard hardware? GitLab issues?
  • Email Berk who can then forward to the next person.
• Converting osheim and dragnipur to docker images?
  • Dan Vokel?

Extra funding

• Send email to Berk. cc Rob. Maybe Hank? (Abishek?)

Should think about releasing VTK-m 1.6, 2.0.

Matt working on WarpX highlight.

David Pugmire gave short 10 min presentation to Alpine internal review. It would be good to have him repeat it for VTK-m. - Maybe have Silvio present, too.

Rename master branch?

• Need to wait for some changes to git before the transition (for some automated features of repo).
• Can we for a time have a master that mirrors the new default?
  • Don't know, but seems possible. Will have to look into that.
