Present were: Tanja, Frank, Peter, Josh, Seth Hopper, Bruno

workshops:
* For details see last week's meeting minutes and soon the wiki page
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/ET_Workshop_Summer_2013
* 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.)
* preliminary program:
- allow participants to install and compile ET
- simple run eg NS collapse (if possible to make robust) or similar run
- consider providing output data as well
* volunteers for topics:
- Frank: overview of Cactus
- Tanja: wave analysis
- Roland: visualization
- everyone: help setting up/compiling/running

memory leak reported by Ian Hinder:
* http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2012-December/002686.html
* Seth (who was also involved) reports that the leaks are quite severe
* happen on two different clusters (both with trunk version)
* leaks show consistent linear increase (ie no jumpyness)
* noticed about ~1wk ago
* this happens for pure BBH runs

generic options lists:
* want to provide option lists for common OS
* turns out we already do:
- Frank uses and maintains debian.cfg
- Steve uses and maintains fedora.cfg
- Ian and Barry use OSX: do you want to officially claim to config file?
- Bruno uses and will maintain ubuntu.cfg

Developer's workshop:
* attached to new users workshop: July 27th-29th (incl). Please register
interest on the wiki page.

Sample parameter files:
* provide gallery of runs with parameter files and results
* run these runs before the release

Yours,
Roland
