Pull requests in progress 1. [PR 834](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/934): `Hall_parameter` * looks good, just needs a final read through to correct Erik's horrible grammar 2. [PR 942](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/942) Update documentation for particles and utils subpackages * Mostly relatively minor refinements ## Attendees * Nick * Erik * Dominik * Jacob * Jun-Chieh Wang ## Action Items ***Dominik*** * link back to discourse from github discussion pages * do the big migration of meeting notes repo etc etc, with separate meeting directories * this has been done and this is a little test change to see how badly I broke the links ***Erik*** * need to start summarizing the roadmap from past meetings, this will facilitate future discussions * form core Review team of Erik, Nick, and Dominik ***Nick*** * After Erik creates Reviewer Team, assign team to PR 942 as a test run for the process ## Minutes * **ROADMAP** * ***Erik*** need to start summarizing the roadmap from past meetings, this will facilitate future discussions * Should roadmap stuff be its own `plasmapy-roadmap` or a subdirectory of `plasmapy-project` * people prefer sub-directory approach * Simulation * initial conditions, boundary conditions, all aspects not directly related to numeric implementation * Jimmy Juno busy through Dec; to be contacted in early 2021 * Hall parameter PR in progress * might need customizable collision frequency? for a future PR * plasma processing - input by Jun-Chieh * scope of project - specific simulations vs general framework * [LAMMPS](https://lammps.sandia.gov/): a classical molecular dynamics code with a focus on materials modeling. It's an acronym for Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator. * `plasmapy-project` repo - discussions about project in general * open up, write-only access, link back to discourse? * https://github.com/astropy/astropy-project * rename `plasmapy-meeting-notes` to `plasmapy-project` and have meeting notes be a sub-directory * check that hackmd links don't break * utilize GitHub's notifications page to assign issue/PR responsibilities (??) * how to be more efficient about general GTD * need to be better about assigning reviews, issues to people * assign a person to take care of the PR * then the request review button is for "come help me with current state" rather than "carry this from birth to merge" * request review from team rather than from single person * Erik to make * 0.5 release * it worked! * release video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rG3lZMy1ZY&feature=youtu.be
