[Users] meeting minutes

[Roland Haas]

Present were: Tanja, Roland, Steve, Philipp, Erik, Yosef, Josh, Bruno

ExternalLibraries/MPI:
* Yosef suggested a dummy MPI thorn to be created in Lovelace so that it
easy to have a thorn compile with both releases
* alternatively it was suggested to have the MPI using thorn only have
"OPTIONAL MPI"

* currently not all simfactory option lists are updated for MPI in
ExternalLibraries
* will use this to sound out who is still using them (by tracking who
reports failed compiles)
* will announce that unused option list will be retired, then retire them

PITTNullCode:
* Yosef will read through PITTNullCode patches.
* will add code to CCE extraction routines to mimic what CactusIO IO
thorns do
* Update: Yosef has approved of them, and they have been (eventually,
after some hickups) pushed


Volunteers needed for:

ExternalLibraries:
* ensure that all libraries exclude the same list of system libraries
(that eg. HDF5 does)

ET webpage:
* list of publications using ET
(http://einsteintoolkit.org/publications/) is out of date
* would like either automated system to collect papers based on whether
the reference the ET paper or that extracts specially tagged entries
from master bibtext file at
https://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/manifest/trunk/einsteintoolkit.bib
* poll authors regularly (3months interval) to report new papers on the
users list
* we have a list of all Cactus-using papers in the CIGR renewal grant
proposal (the citeUS entries). See
http://www.tapir.caltech.edu/~rhaas/cactususers.bib
* need volunteer to collect information, produce web-page

Yours,
Roland
