Minutes

The meeting started around 14:00, back in the usual location of Theatre D. A new participant, Alasdair MacIndoe, attended, seeking a discussion of the Froidure-Pin algorithm which he has recently implemented in HPC-GAP.

James arrived at about 15:10 and spoke to Markus and Alasdair about Froidure-Pin and software packages implementing it. Markus and Alasdair left around 15:40 and we discussed what we've all been working on.
