[Users] meeting minutes

[Roland Haas]

Present were: Ian, Eloisa, Roland, Yosef, Erik, Tanja, Philipp,
Christian Ott

workshops:
* next new users workshop will be attached to Caltech summer
school on astrophysics. School runs July 22nd - July 26th (incl.).
* students of summer school housed in dorms, extra attendants will need
to book hotel rooms (dorms would need to know how many rooms in advance
[now]).
* will have 1 day intensive program on Friday (from past experience; we
want to offer an early bird setup session the day before or before the
workshop starts, we do not want to loose time on this.)
* program suggestions:
- gear towards astrophysics (less binary black holes)
- consider other components than Cactus, eg. GR1D
- generic computational methods: OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA, (since new
clusters with accelerator architectures will be online by then)
* a wiki page for the workshop will be created
(https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/index.php?title=ET_Workshop_Summer_2013),
please list yourself if you want to volunteer for a section of the workshop

* attach developers workshop after new users workshop, ie. on Saturday,
Sunday and Monday
* pick one topic for developers workshop, prepare this in advance, focus
on this during workshop

* create a reminder cronjob for Frank and Roland to remind them (on
Friday) to send out reminders and programs for the calls on Monday.
Hopefully this will help attendance and quality of the discussions :-).

Yours,
Roland
