Chair: Peter Diener
Note Taker: Maria Babiuc-Hamilton
Peteropens the meeting by
reviewing the agenda. He makes a call
for updates from working groups, but there is none. He
goes on to the main item on the agenda is the possible move of cactus code web pages o
gitup pages.
Steve reports that cactus code web pages are not updated
for 10 years and present vulnerability, plus they are clunky. He started to
improve them, and suggested to make them a subset of ETK web pages,
because they are maintained well.
Ianconsidered this is a loss, especially
for justifying similar projects
whenapplying for grants, and
created a static github repository that could host the cactus
code web pages instead. This requires minimum maintenance, because it avoids
the risk presented by the dynamical content, while still allowing updates.
Steve
is in favor of moving cactus code to static gitgub, and asked for a vote. Nobody opposed the idea, so
a decision is made to proceed, although he points out that this won't solve the immediate problem of cleaning the content.
Ian
calls for volunteers for going through the content, and
suggests that Steve makes a call for volunteers by email.
Steve
agrees, and with this item out of the way, he brings updates on the work he is doing in organizing the upcoming US ETK Workshop at LSU in August. He has the registration done, and asks people to start registering at:
Also, he is happy to receive suggestions if anybody sees anythingwrong or could be improved.
Peter reviews the agenda again and does not see any active tickets, or anything else to discuss, and
goes on to ask for volunteers for chair/minute
taker for next two meetings.
Steve volunteers for chair on the 20th of February,
and Ian for the 27th. The
note taker still has to be decided.
Peter asks for any other subject of discussion.
Steve makes another call for volunteer
to assist Roland in coordinating the
next ETK release and learn how to do it.
