[Users] Meeting minutes for 2022-12-15

[Leonardo Rosa Werneck]

Hi all,

Here are the minutes for today’s meeting.

Cheers,
Leo

------------

Chair  : Sam Cupp
Notes  : Leo Werneck
Present: Leo Werneck, Peter Diener, Sam Cupp, Steve Brandt

- Any updates on github & Ian Hindler's account?
  * Something was compromised with his account, but github canceled the token and
    looks like nothing bad happened. Ian is working on it.

- ET mailing list archives not using good SSL certificates
  * Steve will contact Roland, since this was not discussed last week but was in
    the agenda.

- Safety feature to avoid HDF5 files from being corrupted
  * Leo requests a feature that would allow the user to e.g., generate one
    output file per restart. With kuibit, there was interested in switching from
    the ASCII data files to the HDF5 in our research group. However, in a recent
    simulation it turned out that a node failure caused a crash as one of the
    HDF5 was being written to and we lost all data for an important
    gridfunction. If one HDF5 file was written per restart (or another safety
    feature was in place), then this would have not been an issue, as only one
    of the chunks of data would have been corrupted. Leo will open a ticket
    about this.

- Unanswered questions on the mailing list
  * Spandan Sarma had an issue where it seemed the code didn't scale as
    expected, but Peter pointed out that the scaling is more or less what's
    expected.

- Open tickets
  * All website related tickets are likely more interesting to Roland, so we
    won't be discussing them today.

Next meeting     : possibly Jan 5, 2023
