Present: Roland, Zach, Antoni, Chris, Sam, Steve, Yosef
proposed updates to citation policy: * will send email with details to mailing list
trac to bitbucket switch: * Steve removed all mention of trac from website * Steve set up redirects on former trac website to bitbucket tickets
Jenkins server down: * had break in to server, which was then used for bitcoin mining * Ian is working on restoring from backups * Roland to get a bit more involved to be able to do basic maintenance
New ET components * Fishbone-Moncrief disk should be almost ready for inclusion ** has analysis code written around that, that could be used for a full science simulation ** postprocessing is mix of thorns and python code, was used for Event-Horizon-Telescope code comparison project
Using the ET a library * Zach has a proof of concept hook into the ET that lets one use the ET as a library and inject data into it eg for horizon finding * useful to reach out to other projects * repo is here: https://bitbucket.org/zach_etienne/et_minimal_2019_03 which overwrites some Cactus functions in the ETK_interface.c file. The remainder code is vanilla Cactus.
LISA meeting: * Steve and Sam attended the LISA meeting * have needs for very high accuracy and accurate phase * so far Cactus does not seem to be on their map * Intermediate (q=100) mass ratio inspiral (IMRI) runs are the most interesting ones, but not really something the ET can easily do. Some results exists by the RIT group. * Zach is working with students to link some PN work (EOB mostly) with ET and numerical relativity, this can be used to study 4PN effects
RIT meeting: * register soon to enable head count
Wiki to bitbucket wiki: * Steve will provide XML dump * running is currently not so much the issue, but the current LDAP plugin is no longer maintained and forces us to run specific versions
PreSync: * can run all tests with PreSync turned off * no other updates * Sam, Steve and Roland to come up with a plan, so that this can be reported on in the report to NSF * Sam will present on this in PEARC July 28th to August 1st
ET working groups: * need to take stock of where they are * need to restart presentations and discussions
Yours, Roland
