One of the topics we discussed today was having a public git repo for Open MPI 
community tests.  A few community members wanted to have tests that were 
written with public funding to be public.  A very fair point.

(Recall: we have a private repo that is only available to Open MPI core 
developers, not because it contains secret stuff, but rather because back at 
the beginning of the project, we wanted a single Subversion repo where we could 
stash all of our tests, and although all the tests were open source, they 
weren't all *ours* -- they were from other groups/organizations, and we didn't 
know if we had redistribution rights.  Hence, the repository stayed closed)

I have therefore created https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi-tests-public.

This repo can be used for new tests that will be BSD licensed (just like the 
main Open MPI package).  This repo is not intended to be a production-quality, 
distributable set of tests, but rather a loose-collection of tests that are 
useful to the Open MPI community.  That being said, there may be parts of it 
that are applicable to wider audiences.

Feel free to start populating this repository.
