No merges to next
by Robert Jacob 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

A particularly difficult merge to next is being worked on right now and will have to be re-started if anyone pushes to next. So don't merge anything until the "all-clear" is given. Rob

Merging PR's after v1 feature freeze
by Robert Jacob 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Hello Integrators, We have several new PR's since the feature freeze and will get more before the end of the year. These are bug fixes, script and machine changes and are expected. For integrating these PRs: if you are *SURE* they are BFB, then go ahead an integrate them but notify me and Jim by @mention in github or on Slack. Look at the v1 schedule and try to avoid busy days with big merges. If they are non-BFB or CC or NML, they have to be scheduled in with the v1 PRs. Let me know about those. Rob

V1 merging starts Monday.
by Robert Jacob 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

Hello Integrators, A schedule for the V1 PR's is ready. https://acme-climate.atlassian.net/wiki/display/SE/V1%3A+Ordering+of+Featur… Starts tomorrow when the updated HOMME graduates to master. There's still a few known fails in the testing. Our goal is to not add to them. https://acme-climate.atlassian.net/wiki/display/SE/V1%3A++Integration+discu… We can also use the above page for tracking and further problems. Rob

Reminder on PR freezes
by Robert Jacob 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hello Integrators, A reminder that we have a hold on merges to next until the testing PASS state is back in shape. Exceptions: machine and script PRs. PR's already on next can go to master. Bug fix PR's are allowed to next ONLY if approved/requested by Jim, Rob or Andy. Rob

Integrator work days
by Robert Jacob 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hello Integrators, There are 30 working days between now and Dec 23rd, not counting Nov 26,27. We have 29 v1 PR's to integrate in that time. Most of the labs shut down over Christmas/NewYear's so I'm not counting on any work then. To help set the merge schedule, let me know if you'll be on vacation during that time. Also: make sure the BFB, CC, NML, FCC, non-BFB, tags are accurate. Rob

Fwd: [CCSM-participants] Invitation to submit papers to the Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC16) conference in Lausanne
by Robert Jacob 08 Nov '15

08 Nov '15

Another paper opportunity. This one at an ACM-sponsored conference but with higher travel costs. -Rob -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [CCSM-participants] Invitation to submit papers to the Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC16) conference in Lausanne Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 09:09:02 -0800 From: Michael Wehner <mfwehner(a)lbl.gov> To: ccsm-participants(a)cgd.ucar.edu To the CESM Software development working group members: As part of the Editorial Board of the PASCâ16 conference, I have been asked to solicit papers about high performance computing and climate modeling. I would like to invite members of the CESM software team to consider submitting papers about the computational aspects of the model and/or their experiences on the high performance computers. This meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland will be in the tradition of computer science conferences where the papers will be subject to formal peer review. The conference website is at http://www.pasc16.org/ and some of the details of the conference, including the timeline, are included below. The PASC16 is an official ACM conference and proceedings will be part of their digital library. Details about paper submission can be found at http://www.pasc16.org/submission/call-for-papers/ or the PASC call for papers flyer at http://www.pasc16.org/fileadmin/conference/pasc16/Poster_ACM_Call_for_Paper… . I hope that this venue could provide an interesting opportunity for CESM scientists to present some of the technical aspects of their research. If anyone has any questions, please contact me directly. Regards, Michael Wehner PASC'16 is the third conference that was initiated by the Swiss âPlatform for Advanced Scientific Computingâ (PASC). The PASC Conference is an international platform for the exchange of high-performance computing competences in computational science. PASC'16 will bring together talented scientists from diverse background (such as Climate, Solid Earth, Life Sciences, Materials, Physics, Mechanics and Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Emerging Domains) to creatively reflect on their field, and promote exchange of expertise in HPC and interdisciplinary collaboration. We believe that this conference represents a rare opportunity to have domain science heard within computer science. PASC'16 is introducing this year for the first time a papers session into its program, which already includes plenary sessions; one public lecture; minisymposium and contributed talks; poster sessions; exhibition booths and inter-PASC Communities discussions. Timeline - January 15, 2015: Papers abstract deadline. - January 22, 2016: Final papers deadline. Reviewers evaluate first round of papers by February 14, 2016. - February 26, 2016: First review notification to authors - March 11, 2016: Final papers revision deadline. Reviewers evaluate second round of papers by March 27, 2016. - April 7, 2016: Final review notification to authors. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michael Wehner mfwehner(a)lbl.gov <mailto:[email protected]> Senior Staff Scientist, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley CASCADE: CAlibrated and Systematic Characterization, Attribution and Detection of Extremes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey Integrators, slow down.
by Robert Jacob 01 Nov '15

01 Nov '15

Hello ACME integrators, While there may be a mad scramble to *create* a pull request right now, we have 2 months to *complete* the pull requests. There's no reason to be pushing to next and master over this weekend. REMINDERS: You can not integrate your own science code or bug fixes to next or master. Assign another integrator. This is for code review. Make sure your merge commit messages are formatted correctly with the PR # in the title and [BFB], [non-BFB], or [CC] tags. See https://acme-climate.atlassian.net/wiki/display/Docs/Commit+message+template You can edit the PR description on github and use it to craft the final merge commit body. I'm looking forward to seeing you all in Albuquerque. Rob
