Present were: Frank, Tanja, Roland, Peter, Ian, Eloisa, Bruno, Erik, Josh

ET paper: * please have a look at your assigned section and either work on it or let Frank know if you do not have time to do so * if you have no section assigned, then please still read through the paper to see if there is anything obviously missing * Please see what you can do to get this done. Now.

Visualization scripts: * please add your own methods, even if it is just "I do what XXX does" * Ian has a set of Mathematica routines that he uses and that have support for the data that (his) simulations produce: HDF5, some ASCII files ** currently used internally at AEI ** will be made public eventually, but no fixed timeframe exists for that yet ** if we want to run these remotely on the cluster then we will have to check/ask for Mathematica licenses (Erik will do) ** Ian will give a short EVO presentation on the routines next week * other options are python/plotlib which (hearsay) Christian has been using for a while ** would not require commercial software ** more lightweight than Mathematica ** has to be written first (Bruno will have a look, talk to Christian) * gnuplot/(g)awk/shell ** this is what many of us currently use ** (speaking for GT) these work, but are often very messy since the evolved from hacks * there are two levels of visualization: ** online for a quick overview of what the simulation is doing ** in depth for science/publications ** Erik suggested to have one framework for both

* ET workshop: * fall user workshop: nothing discussed since Christian was not here * spring internal workshop at GT: go-ahead from GT, we have to find a convenient date though. ** doodle poll: http://doodle.com/ayigys5kv7zzyxna ** topics will be MHD and the EOS (EOS_Omni) with hopefully introductions to bring everyone up to speed on MHD and the EOS ** if possible will also present the current state of the visualization ** current possible (as of writing this email) dates are Sat Apr 23rd to Wed Apr 27th (incl.) which is the week before the APS April meeting ** if this shrinks to zero we will coarse grain and ask for possible weeks, then for days within possible weeks

Yours, Roland
