*1) vote on modules suggested for inclusion for the next release*

*1a) Canuda scalar and complex fields* -- proposed by Miguel Zilhao
Zach asks if it was reviewed since he didn't hear anything recently. Roland
said that the review finished. No one opposed the inclusion.

*1b) FLRW solver* -- proposed by Hayley Macpherson
No one opposed the inclusion.

*1c) SelfForce-1D* -- proposed by Samuel Cupp
Peter mentioned that there are new functionalities that have been added.
Roland asked if there are new examples, but Peter said no. Steve asked for
examples with movies.
No one opposed the inclusion.

*1d) NRPyEllipticET* -- proposed by Leo Werneck, Thiago Assumpcao, Zach
Etienne
Roland mentioned that there are no test cases included with it.
No one opposed the inclusion with the condition that at least a test case
is added.

Leo mentioned that some documentation of WVUThorns does not show correctly
online and Roland said that html latex is stricter than pdflatex when
checking latex syntax.

*2) ET release*
Roland said that is coming up in November, all thorns compile, and all
tests pass.
Test results are available on
http://einsteintoolkit.org/testsuite_results/index.php

Steve reminded people that the subversion servers are going to be switched
off. There seems to be only one still used and maybe it is time to move to
another versioning system any repository still on svn.

Gabriele said that kuibit will soon require python 3. Zach mentioned that
NRPy will continue to support python 2 since python 2 is still used on many
HPC systems. Steve suggested checking which is the default version of
python available in the clusters we use.

*4) unanswered question on mailing list*
Regarding configuration of workstation (Indrani Banerjee): no volunteer
found to answer this question yet. Not clear whether it would be possible
to compute waveforms on a workstation.

*5) open tickets sorted by update time*
The following tickets were discussed:
#2644: NaNs in ADMBASE metric components with RNSID -> no volunteer found
#2642: Toolkit Fails to Compile on Sawtooth (Idaho National Lab) -> it
seems that C++ 14 standard is needed and this should solve the issue.
#2643: Adding read/write declarations to Meudon ID thorns -> it is a
pull request (please have a look)
#2641: ML_BSSN macro usage bypasses personalized read/write macros

*6) tickets ready for review*
#2630: WaveMoL example computes energy from unsynchronized grid variables
#181: AEILocalInterp should not off-centre the interpolation stencil by
default
#2364: avoid opening and closing HDF5 files multiple times during output
#963: Improve McLachlan accuracy

No comment on any of these tickets.

*7) Other comments*
Zach said that the update to Baikal will be a regular update (as suggested
by Roland) and he will open a pull request.
