So far, I count three people interested in OpenMPI on Windows. That's
not a case for ongoing support.

Since I did not see any Microsoft/other 'official' folks pick up the
ball, let me step up. I have been lurking in this list for quite a
while and I am a generic scientific programmer (i.e. I use many
frameworks such as OpenCL/OpenMP etc, not just MPI)
Although I am primarily a Linux user, I do own multiple versions of
Visual Studio licenses and have a small cluster that dual boots to
Windows/Linux (and more nodes can be added on demand). I cannot do any
large scale testing on this, but I can build and run regression tests etc.
If the community needs the Windows support to continue, I can take up
that responsibility, until a more capable person/group is found at least.
Thanks

All,
I completely missed the message about Shiqing departing as the
OpenMPI Windows maintainer. I'll try and keep Windows builds
going for 1.6 at least, I have 2011 and 2013 Intel licenses and
VS2008 and 2012, but not 2010. I see that the 1.6.3 code base
already doesn't build on Windows in VS2012 :-(.
While I can try and keep builds going, I don't have access to a
Windows cluster right now, and I'm flat out on two other projects.
I can test on my workstation, but that will only go so far.
Longer-term, there needs to be a decision made on whether Windows
gets to be a first-class citizen in OpenMPI or not. Jeff's
already told me that 1.7 is lagging behind on Windows. It would
be a shame to have all the work Shiqing put in gradually decay
because it can't be supported enough. If there's any
Microsoft/HPC/Azure folks observing this list, or any other
vendors who run on Windows with OpenMPI, maybe we can see what can
be done if you're interested.
