Agenda
Present: DH, DID, JB, CW, NB, FA, IM, JHC, KS
Apologies:
JB: PDESoft in Cambridge
Info + registration at this link
Required for SysgenX.
Happening in July.
ALL: submit abstract.
JB: Make VTK a soft dependency
https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/pull/3324
VTK wheels are not available on some platforms.
DH: netcdf is like HDF5, so it itself is not required by Firedrake, but by Gusto.
JB: Move checkpointing.py to output folder.
JB: Progress on RTree
PR closer to being merged. See libsupermesh and firedrake PRs for progress on our side.
JB: continue working with the firedrake branch.
CW: Status of "backend" for adjoint
See relevant issue. Surely "backend" is a redundant concept now?
Yes. Someone needs to replace all backend with whatever.
expunge vectors in adjoint -> use Cofunctions.
expunge Function.vector -> suggest using PETSc.vec or dat.data.
JB: Firedrake team
Add Daiane to "Active" and move Sophia to "Former". We should make sure we are not forgetting anyone else either!
DID: Do this adding her own photo.
NB: Interp
Documentation is failing.
DH: probably just take "optional" out?
Merge PRs
Note that PRs put in this section should either be trivial or already have been reviewed. Discussion-worthy PRs should be separate agenda items.
JB: #3152 Firedrake public interface to GC + PyOP2#712 this has been reviewed and iterated several times.
