Has feedback/suggestions https://github.com/dials/dials/pull/2750 - AB will have a look ### "Add the ellipsoid profile model as an option in dials.stills_process" - https://github.com/dials/dials/pull/2615 - Status: waiting on Aaron to review, not pressing so likely not in immediate future. ### Collaboration Meeting?! - Graeme requested to add - AB: Dials workshop in association with a user meeting? Two days workshop two days DIALS perhaps? Discuss! - [ ] **GW**: Kick off conversation in dials-support about this ## AOB ### Next meeting Thursday, January 30th, 4pm (GMT), 8am (PST), 10am (CST)
