Hi all,

Here are the minutes of today’s meeting:

Chair: Steve
Minute taker: Leo
Present: Steve, Leo, Sam, Cheng-Hsin, Zach, Roland, Peter, Yosef

* ET_release

  - Elliptica reader: Alireza said testing should be completed in the next two
    weeks. Beyhan expressed some concern about the fact that there are lots of
    files for the Elliptica library, but Steve and Roland assured this is fine
    as long as the library is reviewed properly. One important thing to keep in
    mind is that if the library provide any globals outside of a namespace, the
    names of these globals must be prefixed with the libraries' name.

  - Fuka reader: Review finished a while back and should be good to go.

  - CarpetX pre-release: Review is progressing slowly.

  - particle_tracerET: Review completed last week and should be merged into
    master today.

  - Baikal reads/writes: Code modifications were very minor and should be merged
    into master today.

  - TwoPunctures_BBHSF: Review is complete and pull request is being created.

  - NPScalars_SF: Review hasn't started yet, but Peter will perform the "do no
    harm" review asap. Pull request should be created soon.

  - kuibit: The new version of the code requires Python 3.8+. Steve hoped that
    kuibit would support Python 3.7, since that's what installed in some of the
    LSU clusters. That being said, both Steve and Peter have successfully
    installed kuibit with Python 3.7 by using Gabriele's suggestion:
      $ pip install --upgrade 'kuibit<=1.4.0'

  - Overall comments on the release: everything is progressing timely. We will
    begin discussing the release name soon (maybe next week).

* ET school: Scientific committee information will be released today;
  registration will open soon and a modest fee will be charged to cover basic
  expenses; hotel near the RIT closed, but there will be free shuttles to/from
  the hotels.

* CI tests: NRPyEllipticET test is broken (Leo will look into it).

* List of clusters and testers have been added to the release details web page
  (https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Release_Details).

Next chair: Peter
Next minute taker: ChatGPT/Zach
