Agenda Topics:

1. Open Pull Requests
2. Issue cleanup
3. Framework modifications:
   • Filter Infrastructure
   • Eliminating the mpas_constants module
   • Registry Validation
   • Critical error log files: "regularize" filenames, and add ability to print multiline messages
   • Integer overflow in ESMF time interval code
     • See branch https://github.com/mgduda/MPAS/tree/framework/esmf_i8_intervals
   • Fortran 2008 Support
4. Design Document Discussions
   • Pool Functions
   • Debugging streams
   • Arbitrary Attributes in Field Definitions
5. Testing infrastructure
   • Anything to talk about?
6. Long-term possibility for other I/O layers (e.g., netCDF4 directly instead of PIO)
   • See, e.g., https://github.com/mgduda/MPAS/tree/framework/nopio-clean/src/framework

Notes:

• Randomize quick sort:
  • Will get to it soon.
  • Might add a test to see if it's already "sorted"
• Which stream routines support regex patterns
  • Ringing alarms
  • Destroy stream
  • Michael will look at adding support to these
• I/O Layers
  • PIO has sometimes been problematic for large simulations (bugs, performance, etc...)
  • Will re-evaluate implementation and see if there's a way to extract just the lowest level to be changed between builds.
