Present: Zach, Steve, Peter, Beyhan, Jay Kalinani, Ken Sible, Liu Haoyang, Maria Hamilton, Miguel Gracia, Roland, Sam Cupp, Bill Gabella, Yosef
Carpetcode.org server transfer -- Steve warns if we transfer to LSU, the mailing lists will break. Looking into a workaround.
NRPyPN vote for inclusion: Roland -- Used for setting TwoPunctures parameters for binary black hole initial data. Reviewed positively by Peter.
Roland had concerns about exposing the user to the inner workings of NRPyPN that should be hidden. Zach fixed those in the past 12 hours. Zach says he still needs to add a doc/documentation.tex file stub that points to the actual (Juptyer) documentation.
NRPyPN received majority approval for inclusion.
Release planning: Roland -- No *major* issues for which there are tickets of which we are aware.
Testsuites: Still pass, some oddities are observed with TwoPunctures that can disappear when Ofast compiler flag is changed to e.g., O2.
Gallery tests: Roland -- Multipatch scalar wave finished. Others need to be done in the next 2 weeks. Steve says he hopes to get to his next week. Beyhan too.
Unresolved messages on mailing list: None to report.
Other business Steve: Don't forget about SPEC benchmark!
Roland: Recordings of Erik, Zach, & Steve's Brown ICERM workshop tutorials have been posted on the Einstein Toolkit homepage Roland: UIUC postdoc application for Einstein Toolkit development is due soon (Dec 1)!
Jay Kalinani: TOV simulation using new Spritz code. When adding a dipolar magnetic field to the star, there is some confusion about the behavior of cctk_time. There's a desire to not store RK intermediate values of cctk_time to cctk_time itself. Zach suggested that a local variable could be defined that simply outputs cctk_iteration*dt if desired. Roland had some comments about scheduling such a routine.
Chairs/Minute Takers for upcoming meetings: Bill -- Minutes Nov 19 Sam -- Chair Nov 19
