[Mpi-forum] Deadline for next year's release

[Jeff Squyres]

I apologize to all for the confusion that my first message in this  
thread lead to.  I failed to give the proper context, which then led  
to lots of email hell.  I think the subsequent emails have clarified  
much; thanks guys.

I do believe that there is still some debate about what exactly to  
call the SC'10 and SC'11 releases.  I think the main point of my email  
was to say that if you want something in the SC'10 release, by our  
defined procedures (1st reading, 2 votes, etc.), it needs to be ready  
by March.  Some things are ready already or are close -- it was meant  
to be a "heads up" for the WGs who are not [well] represented here in  
Helsinki that we likely will have *something* to release at SC'10  
(regardless of what it is called -- "3.0" or otherwise), and that  
March is the last meeting to have a 1st reading.
