[Mpi-forum] Proposal process for a side document for C++ Language Interface for MPI-5.x

[Wes Bland]

Hi Tony,

I’ll refer to the procedures doc here: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/other/procedures-36.pdf__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!bGuH3zLyV9mmb_wen9XjqXLtDB_l74fuTyee3CfuEYLiAdP2wC06DYvwaFNwA07vj295B8nzTXI1W1kR23DjmJHc$  (*pushes glasses up nose* - Section 2.2.5).

For side documents, you’ll follow the same procedure as a regular proposal (have a plenary/reading first, then two votes). The only difference is that updates to side docs incrementing the minor version number only have to pass a single vote (like an errata).

Organizationally, we have repositories for each of the side documents in the main MPI Forum GitHub organization so it’s easier for folks to find them. You can find an example with the newer Memory Allocation Kinds side document here: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/mpi-forum/mem-alloc__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!bGuH3zLyV9mmb_wen9XjqXLtDB_l74fuTyee3CfuEYLiAdP2wC06DYvwaFNwA07vj295B8nzTXI1W1kR2-xc1gSr$ . I’d be happy to make a repo for you if you’re interested.

I'll put you on the list for the North Carolina meeting. I’m also happy to help schedule a non-voting meeting if you want to get some early feedback during one of our Wednesday time slots.

Thanks,
Wes
