Present: Roland, Bill, Chris, Helvi, Sam, Zach, Shawn

Spam on trac: * currently anonymous posting has been disabled * Steve will look into alternative captcha * Roland suggests that something simple, customized (eg. "What was Einstein's given name?") would work (or even "Type 'Einstein'").

ET release: * Wu release with major feature being the GiRaFFE thorn * major fix in MHD code for GRHydro * glitch in announcement email not mentioning MHD fix * will work out better way to double check announcement emails eg by posting it on the wiki or as a pull request to have more eyes on it

ET meeting: * many new student users, few professorial level new users * new user sessions ** using Cactus ** visualization ** using Carpet ** NRPy+ intro ** worked well using LSU jupyterhub server * improve visibility of ET * foster collaboration between ET users in particular in the EU, common computer time grands * benchmarks and performance comparison between ET, BAM, GRChombo * non Cactus codes in ET: Peter Diener has a self-force code that he would like to contribute. Need to decide how to handle and present this. * waveform modeling, eccentric waveforms * pressing issue is lack of good initial data for system involving matter * the memory usage issue in ticket https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/2194 was discussed among the participants * Helvi will organize the next meeting in London (most likely)

ET tutorial: * will move back to NCSA * Roland and Steve to set this up

Unanswered questions: * http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-September/006504.html has not response

Yours, Roland
