Meeting minutes:

Present were: Frank, Roland, Peter, Josh, Tanja, Ian, Eloisa, Bruno, 
Erik, Yosef

ET paper:
* some commits were done during the week and weekend
* please check if you are assigned to a section and expect to be bugged 
by Frank if things are still missing by the middle of the week

New thorns:
* do not include the Web 2.0 thorns into the ET thorn list but do 
include them into a (future) master thorn list
* include SystemStatistics thorn
* HDF5 now depends on a new thorn ZLIB which find libz

Thornlists:
* have two thornlists, a Einstein Toolkit (smaller list) one and a 
master one (everything)

ET workshop:
* we agree that workshop for ET beginners (but experienced grad 
students/postdocs), about issues with simulations, ideas on how to 
improve the toolkit is a good idea
* have to decide where/when to hold it
* check if we can get some funding from NSF
* will come up with ideas for contents/location/participants during the 
week and discuss in the next meeting

Visualization:
* collect current practices of the groups in wiki
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Visualization_of_simulation_results
* visualization was part of the original proposal so we will have to 
think about it
* include a simfactory "get" command to copy user specified data from a 
cluster

Multipole:
* please have a look at Erik's proposed patch

New thorn submission policy (recap):
* post intention on user mailing list and ask for discussion
* if there is no discussion we will discuss the proposed thorn in the 
next meeting
* we prefer full documentation and test suites but if the thorn was used 
in a publication we are willing to accept this as a "quality" measure 
instead

Yours,
Roland
