SHORT VERSION

Per Dallas discussions:

  *   We're looking to release v2.1.0 by 31 Oct
  *   Feature freeze / cutoff is 30 Sep
  *   There are "must have" items that will block the release schedule

If we really want a release by 31 Oct, there is much work to do in a short 
amount of time.

MORE DETAIL

Per our Dallas discussions 
(https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/wiki/Meeting-2016-08 and 
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/wiki/Meeting-Minutes-2016-08), we are looking 
to release v2.1.0 by the end of October.

We had talked about September 30 as the feature freeze date for v2.1.0.  This 
is rapidly approaching.

According to https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/wiki/Releasev2x, here are the 
remaining incomplete v2.1.0 "must have's":


  *   PMIx 2.0 integration (Intel, MLNX) - partially in master Issue 
#2072<https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/2072>. Will require porting to 
the v2.x branch.
  *   Open SHMEM 1.3 compliance issue #2109 tracking multiple 
PRs<https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/2109>
  *   mpool/rcache rewrite (LANL) - already in master
  *   HCOLL datatypes - already in master
  *   Better CMA support detection / make CMA the default in vader PR 
#1306<https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi-release/pull/1306>

Other new features can be accepted to v2.1.0, but not after 30 Sep.

Additionally, there are currently 6 blocker issues: 
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20milestone%3Av2.1.0%20label%3Ablocker<https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues?utf8=✓&q=is:issue%20is:open%20milestone:v2.1.0%20label:blocker>
 in various states (some haven't started, some are partially complete, some are 
all-but-complete).  These, too, must be fixed before release, and may delay the 
release.
