Present were: Frank, Peter, Steve, Philipp, Yosef, Tanja, Vassilis, Ian
ET release: * two failing tests, Misner for AHFinderDirect and slowsector for GRHydro, various Exact based tests * create tickets for failing tests * check that we have EinsteinExact versions of all failing Exact ones * Roland to look into slowsector failures
* collect changes since release, in particular for simfactory on datura and create new point release and tags once done
New thorns: * Yosef will put his ParitySymmetry thorn into incoming * either use it or consider appending RotatingSymmetry180 (if changes are small, patch is available, ticket for this: https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1266) * there was a suggestion to merge all symmetry thorns into one to possibly reduce code duplication, it seems however that the amount of duplicated code is small and the amount of work required to describe all symmetries consistently in one thorn is significant
Version control system: * suggestion to move code repositories (excepting ExternalLibraries) from svn to git ** git offers better GUIs ** git offers easier branch management (eg one can create a branch and refer to it in a ticket) ** git offers better merge handling ** git keeps full history which might be large in case of frequent changes to large files (eg test data) * will send an email with intention to change to mailing lists * nothing will happen in the next month due to travel and CCT moving buildings
Carpet changes: * Erik has a set of changes to Carpet that he will push * do NOT use for production runs yet
Misc: * Erik to host the calls for the next month * Erik to write reminders for the next month * Roland will send Erik reminders to send the reminders :-)
Developer's workshop: * after CGWAS, July 27th-29th (Sat-Mon), wiki page has information: https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/ET_Workshop_Summer_2013 * currently listed participants: Caltech, Frank, Steve, Peter, Josh, Erik * topics: TBD please think of some by next week * suggested topics: Refluxing, A-field MHD (although we'd rather have that one done by then) * will be in Caltech conference room used for scheduler workshop, should offer H323 call-in and conferencing
Yours, Roland

If there is going to be a new point release, then I'd like to also propose that we regenerate all Kranc-based thorns with the release version of Kranc, as suggested in [https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1365].

It may have already been mentioned on the call, but Ian Hinder and I have a system in place to provide git mirrors of all components of the ET (including ExternalLibraries). This is currently available at http://git.barrywardell.net/ for anyone who wants to try it out. For example, to get the latest release version of the Einstein Toolkit you could use the following:
git clone --recursive --branch ET_2013_05 git://git.barrywardell.net/EinsteinToolkit
I would be happy to offer my help in adapting this system for use in a more 'official' location.
Regards, Barry
