Present: Bill, Chris, Maria, Roland, Yosef, Zach

upcoming ET release

Timeline: https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Release_Details

* gallery examples other than BNS ** all assigned to Helvi's group, who are working on them * BNS gallery example ** Zach had a look at results, agrees that it is likely as good as we can expect ** has seems similar unpredictable behaviour wrt to the number of oscillations observed in his own runs, can be a numerical issue given the resolution used * status of test suites ** no new unexplained failures since last release (CT_MultiLevel only) ** can compile on MacPorts again, seem to be able to compile on HomeBrew * status of Fishbone-Moncrief disk thorn ** Zach and Steve working on getting thorn ready for inclusion * status of self-force code ** no updates since Peter and Steve are not on call * suggestion to provide docker image for ET release ** would opt for fully compiled ** have einsteintoolkit docker organization ** do not aim for cluster support ** would need portable instructions on how to run with parfile living outside of container and write data to location outside of container (need at least OSX, Linux, Windows) ** an alternative would be a purely static executable, which is not always easy to produce * testing OSX Catalina, which is not yet supported by MacPorts ** no official support yet, will try and see what happens if one uses Mojava version

CarpetIOHDF5 recover failure with manual topology * Yosef made patch available * needs to be looked at to check if this is the correct way to fix it

running BNS example * Maria will re-run with extra debug output for RotatingSymmetry180

Yours, Roland
