Review of actions from last meeting
======================

ACTION 2011-03-01 Xyratex to explore whether any existing Xyratex 2.x patches are appropriate for inclusion in the 2.1 release
-LU145 is lower priority and so can land for 2.2 DEFERRED
ACTION 2011-03-01 ALL to contribute to 2.1 testing
-no developments this week ONGOING
ACTION 2011-08-16 Jones to confirm whether any 1.8.x fixes are needed in order to support interoperability with 2.1
-no progress this week ONGOING

Testing update
==============

-TACC no progress this week
-ORNL Test script issues
-LLNL no new issues hit
-Cray initial RC1 testing ok
-Whamcloud progressing through release testing; expect to complete this by end of the week; RC2 will definitely be required based on testing results so far

Blocker update
==============

-LU617 Initial fix considered too risky for late landing so less invasive workaround fix going through testing and inspections
-LU647 Discovered yesterday; fix going through testing and inspections; build and test system has been altered to catch this kind of error sooner

-ORNL wondered if LU643 should be considered as a blocker; Oleg advised that this looked to be network-related and not a blocker

AOB

Next meeting will be at 9:30 AM PT on September 6th. Jessica Popp will chair that call because Peter Jones will be on vacation. Please send suggestions for agenda topics ahead of that time.

Regards

Peter
