Present: Steve (minutes), Roland, Bruno, Peter, Beyhan (chair), Yosef, Zach, Leo
Done with the 3rd Spec Benchmark: CPU8 We have some licensing issues that Roland discovered.
Canuda progress: The review has started and sent some comments to the authors so Roland is optimistic.
FLRW Solver progress: Zach isn't a cosmologist, but he is reviewing based on coding.
Selfforce-1D: Peter has started, so it's progressing
NRPyEllipticET: Leo says the review will start early next week, tests were done by hand. Some cleaning up of the code has been in progress. A script for the empirical formula for computing the damping was added because the referee asked for it.
Roland Haas is trying to make sure the reviews are done in a timely way and the results of the published paper can be reproduced.
Steve suggested adding coverage testing for new thorns.
ID Reader for Elliptica. Beyhan has compiled it, but that's all so far. This may not get reviewed by the end of the month and so we might move it to the next release. Roland is not sure if the library of data files are ready. Not in a publication. Roland would like the reader in the toolkit, but would prefer not to have something that's rushed.
BBH Gallery example is running.
New thorns should probably add a gallery example. This would also create more visibility. Zach thinks the self-force code should have a gallery example.
Functionality to remove ADMBase and StaticConformal inheritance from TmunuBase.
Zach wants StaticConformal to go altogether. We could deprecate it. Could replace it with a stub of a thorn that just errors out. Steve suggests we add compile/runtime warnings during the deprecation. Spec code has such a mechanism. We could do something similar. Yosef wants to not build deprecated unless the user chooses an option. Maybe disable it in the thorn list. So announce removal, then disabled, then removed.
Open tickets: Does number 2626 have an update? Roland is not sure the changes actually make things go faster.
Ticket 2598? Mostly about clusters at West Virginia. Started by Maria. The maintainer is Anush. Roland will check on the pull request.
Ticket 2625? Gabrielle Bozolla made a pull request.
Yosef tried to use GetComponents to checkout thorns. Multiple branches cannot doesn't work. Needs --no-shallow.
Yosef askes if we want to move the meeting back to 9am? We will put the question on the mailing list.
Steve will try and update the intro to cactus presentation to use the wave equtaion instead of the TOV star.
Volunteers for the next call: Roland will take minutes. Yosef will be chair.
