Hi all,
here are my coarse-grained notes from the meeting:
* 'next' branch: Currently we are fighting the problem of integration
testing vs. basic testing in the same branch.
Barry: Run basic tests before merging to next!
'make alltest' for ~3 configurations should cover most problems.
* Test harness:
Migration to new test harness will take another month or two.
Most directories already converted, but a couple of tricky
directories are left.
Discussion about speeding up tests, new test harness should provide
better fine-grained control.
Jed makes a case for Github instead of Bitbucket. Will be considered
in the future, but no urgency.
* NUMFOCUS:
Fell off the urgency list.
Still considered to be a good idea.
* PETSc User Meeting:
Contact sponsors by the end of the year.
Make a list for people to contact at institutions in Europe.
* SIAM Annual Meeting:
Richard and Karl will continue the idea of hosting a minisymposium.
Other participants of the call are most likely not going there.
* Documentation:
Patrick wants to set up better introductory tutorials.
Deal.ii-style tutorials desirable, yet there's a significant
maintenance cost attached to it.
Split up tutorial slides into smaller chunks (one PDF per chapter).
Stop duplicating code tutorials where only a few lines of code are
actually different.
Best regards,
Karli

Karl,
Thanks for organizing this. Unfortunately, I'll be on a plane at that
time so I won't be able to join. I would be grateful if someone could
write some brief meeting minutes for those of us who are interested but
cannot make it.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi all,
the PETSc quarterly telecon will take place today, Monday, at 2pm
Chicago time.
If anyone of you has a good software to hold the telecon (maybe
BlueJeans or Zoom), please post a link to the channel. If no link has
been posted by 1:30pm CT, I'll post a Google Hangouts link.
Incomplete list of topics to discuss:
* User Meeting 2018
* Organizational Ideas (e.g. NUMFOCUS)
* Test Harness
* Documentation improvements
* Integration management for branch 'next'
Please feel free to propose additional items to discuss by replying to
this email.
Best regards,
Karli
