Present: Steve B, Bill G, Roland H, Peter D, Yosef Z, Miguel G, Atul K, Zach E
Chair: Steve B, Minutes: Bill G * Last Release (named Johnson, dated Dec 2021), comments Steve, it is done and it was more work than previously thought. Did update the process notes. Yosef, for the announcement upload to Hyperspace in our release notes was a reference to another announcement but could not resolve it. This announcement is currently on Hyperspace at https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2021/12/09/new-einstein-toolkit-release-johnson/ . The contact is not listed correctly, says Yosef and not maintainers. We found the previous release on Hyperspace at https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2021/05/31/the-twenty-second-release-of-the-einstein-toolkit/ . Seems to be Wordpress as the host. The other announcement was too long, so Roland asked that Yosef decrease it. Steve, maybe one can also put in the DOI, but Luciano Rezzola (runs the site) does not want links (maybe?). Zenodo reference is https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5770803 . Steve, would like to have Kranc and NRpy build and for this release and they did not. Zach, working on updating and modernizing Baikal, next release will be more consistent and seamless. Improvements to the build system, more in line with NRPy ( http://astro.phys.wvu.edu/bhathome/ ). More code re-use with the NRPy infrastructure, and automatic generation of Par files. That is what is planned. Also will check that you can run the NRPy notebook and create the generated code---Zach is working on it. ** The tutorial server Steve, it has been updated and runs the Cactus tutorial, heat equation, and wave equation notebooks without incident, also the Self Force tutorial. Should be able to get at it in docker, the Docker hub is Einstein Toolkit. And Steve has access to it and can give other people access to the Jupyter ET repo and into the directory and build the images there. He would like to add some documentation---you need to build base, notebook, cilogin (makes the system we have), and CYOL, (create your own login for the tutorial servers). Each uses a "From" the previous step and one can push to the repo and it should all go. Need permissions to push it there. Could make a script on the tutorial server, so that when a new version appears it could install it automatically....otherwise one must deal with LSU's CCT IT system. You can create your own server based on CILogin step. * SPEC Benchmark Need to ping them about the status of ET. Have answered all their email. SPEC at https://www.spec.org/ , last posted results are from 2017. * ET Website Glitch Roland, found a glitch on the ET Website. If you go to the BNS gallery page with http and not https, you can see the movie frame and the play triangle, but it will not play. Need to check out server logs. https://einsteintoolkit.org/gallery/bns/index.html Shows the movie. http://einsteintoolkit.org/gallery/bns/index.html Shows only the movie frame. * Bug Hunt / Hack-a-thon Bill, sometime in early January will post about having a "hack-a-thon" / "bug hunt" to clear as many Open Tickets as possible. Focus of this one would be clear tickets. * 2017 ET Summer school and workshop Some of us were interviewed by a graduate student about using code, and he published his paper, https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10971 . Roland would like to ask him to talk about it to us. * AOB Peter, talked to Barry Wardell and he will try to have a European ET Workshop in UCD, Dublin, looking for funding. Steve, Supercomputing 2021 ( https://sc21.supercomputing.org/ ) was great. Best Tech Party ever. Was in the St. Louis City Museum that is kind of a fun house, bizarre artwork inside a building, with lots of tunnels and slides weaving through the building, 10 story slide on the outside. Steve, we talked about a regular monthly talk at our telecons. Reminds us that we want to do that. Atul, announcement that he started at RIT...finishing Notre Dame PhD and continuing as an RIT post-doc. He thanks the ET community for all the help and support. * [https://www.einsteintoolkit.org/tools/unanswered.php unanswered question on mailing list] * [https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues?status=open&status=new&sort=-updated_on open tickets sorted by update time] Gallery examples should get closed...and then are re-opened for the next release.
