* status of proposed new codes for the next release: * new TOV solver created with NRPy+ * c- and python-based version * includes a broader range of EoS, including piece-wise polytrops * could possibly replace current TOV solver in ET * Action item: create ticket for code review; ensure that it is backwards compatible with current TOV solver * self-force code -> next week
* ET EU meeting status -> next week
* elect release coordinator for next release (2020_04) [RH] * Please volunteer to coordinate the next release! * elect coordinator next week
* Update on "Cosmology and Particles" Working Group * currently 19 members with diverse scientific background covering cosmology, modified gravity, high energy physics and numerical relativity * Activities: * monthly calls * discussion and presentation of dedicated topics to foster new collaborations * development of new thorns and code revisions; benchmark between different codes * Current status: * group has been dormant * Please step forward if you would like to steps forward as co-chair!
* Open tickets * thread safety in Cactus; see ticket https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2326/cctk_vinfo-is-not-... * Erik fixed bug in CCTK_TraverseString; see ticket https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2317/cctk_traversestrin...
