    * Chris Simmons

## Discussions:
Getting toolchains outside of openHPC such as automake
Greg: We need to talk if we need to have a generic SIG for toolchains
Greg: We need to look into adding more release packages such as intel compiler
Brain storm ideas about optimizing binaries
David: What would be the interest of having a light weight kernel for HPC
Jeremy: mentioning intel light weight kernel https://github.com/intel/mos
Chris: asking if there is any benchmark, hard numbers between shipped kernel and light weight kernel, so far, nothing solid
Sherif: Slurm now is build but not in standard path and we agreed we are going to move standard path 
Greg: make sure you have the provide type
Chris: also make sure that downgrade works
Greg and Chris, we can also contribute to openHPC documentation

## Action items:
