[Users] Meeting minutes

[Roland Haas]

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

ET release:
* almost all test suites pass on almost all machines
** QLM failures likely due to tolerances
** SphericalHarmonicRecon compiler and MPI specific, only happen on
non-essential machines
** Exact: suspect finite difference issues (2nd order) inside Exact, had
 similar problems during the last release, will not fix
* remaining milestone tickets:
** Ian/Erik will write a transition guide from perl to python version of
simfactory (#633)
** lonestar (645): issue is intermittend, resubmitting allows the job to
start. Remove milestone.
** thornlist in tutorial (#647): tutorial will be replaced by python
one, will update link at this time (Erik/Ian)
** EOS Omni transition guide (#633): is already in thorn documentation,
remove milestone but leave ticket open to expand the guide.
* PDF docuementation builds, HTML is still believe to not build. Ian
will try again and upload a copy of the html docs once they compile
* mention MHD support in GRHydro release notes
* Roland will work through the tutorial once all branches are created
and the thornlist updated
* re-run release branch test suites on some machine to make sure there
is not typo
* offer prominent download link (and tarball?) on ET start page
* will release tomorrow (Tuesday Oct. 25th 2011)

ET paper:
* cite MHD paper as "in preparation" instead of stating that MHD has not
yet been released
* tov collapse: look at point halfway between surface and centre as
well, finish this during this week
* fix science content by Friday
* finish paper by mid November
* Josh will give the paper a second language read-through after Thursday

Yours,
Roland
