Items Discussed

1. Presentation walk-through and Discussion
   1. Released the FTB-0.5 version to internal developers along with the developers guide
2. Discussed the need for FTB to provide a file descriptor to be used for software like OpenMPI to poll on and receive events.
   1. It was determined that callback functions subscription style provided by FTB should be sufficient for OpenMPI purpose, without the need for exposing file descriptor (which is too low level and not appropriate to be a part of the FTB API).

Action Items
