[Users] Meeting minutes for 2024-07-11

[Lucas Timotheo Sanches]

Present: Lucas (Minutes), Roland (chair), David Boyer, Leo, Sam, Yosef

# Current Etk release timeline
 * Things are looking OK for the release.
 * Test results OK (some failures on thorns known to be sensitive).
 * BNS gallery example is probably finished, the page is still to be updated.
 * BBH gallery example still missing. Deborah needs to be poked but may not
   have time. Roland will do the poking.

# Next ETK release
  * We need to form a release coordination. Roland will be the release chair.
  * We need a release co-chair. There have been no volunteers so far.
  * Decide on features we will include (needs to be done now). Start querying
    people for possible features they would like to include.
  * Roland reports that Hayley J. Macpherson may have something to the
    cosmology toolkit. She needs to be further questioned on this.
  * David Boyer, a member of Zach's group has an inclusion: David Made a TOV
    solver that handles multiple ODEs, tabulated and piecewise EOS. He reports
    that adaptive RK4 is enabled for the ETK version but more can be enabled
    if the community desires. It is separated from the Nrpy EOS solver but
    was tested against that.

# Mailing list
  * No unanswered questions on the mailing list.

# Tickets
 * 2748: Yosef will review SpacetimeX (Z4C). He says his schedule may not be
   compatible, so this may have to change.
 * 2520: Assigned to David Boyer.
 * 2780: Sam suggested that this ticket should be closed and the inclusion of
   Baikal X dropped. Sam reports that Zach's group (the developers of
   Baikal/BaikalX) are not actively working on CarpetX thorns and the RIT
   group originally interested in it may no longer be using it.
