Pull requests **MERGED** 1. ... ## Attendees * Dominik * Erik x2 * Tiger * Nick ## Action Items ***Person*** * ... ## Minutes * ![](https://i.imgur.com/grFnwBZ.png) * Roadmap! * Most progress on hack week * To be held at end of Q2 * On Friday made good progress filling out schedule & adding presenters * Need more good first issues for during the hack week * About one new registration per day; lots of people from OMFIT * Notebooks * Peter's plan: talk for 20 mins, then work on notebooks, let people play with functionality * Can Gkeyll/bout++ run through notebooks? * Education * Will likely be a Bryn Mawr student over the summer * Creating educational materials/notebooks that can be used in classes * This could be a hack week topic too * Would likely identify features needed in PlasmaPy * YouTube * Mostly on hold * Nick has been slacking on clean coding video * Nick gave David videos from * Analysis & diagnostics * Likely shift Q2 goals to Q3 * Erik gave Zenhub access to PlasmaPy on GitHub * Attempt to use it for diagnostic stuff * Then implement it for more later * Dispersion * Q1: created two-fluid * On pause for dissertation reasons * New Delaware student potentially interested, would be getting up to speed in the summer, and hopefully attend the hack week * * Nick invited Kamodo/Heliopython * Transport * Working on neoclassical * Progress on refactoring of `ClassicalTransport` by Peter * common API for classical & neoclassical for Q3; not sure we'll be able to get there since all the neoclassical stuff depends on geometry. * Simulation * Meeting with Ammar Hakim and Jimmy Juno in 3h from now (23:00 Dominik's time, thus, sadness) * getting on same page about hack week * gkyl is mostly C99 so should be pythonizable? * 2021 Year of Delivery ~~and the Linux Desktop~~ * if switching to date-ver, start at the beginning of next year? * push release to ~2 weeks * Are there any practices that we can put into play to be more effective in getting the roadmap accomplished? * Co-working sessions * Shouldn't happen on a Friday morning after the hack week so that Erik can go no bike rides * Maybe have a review hour? Could try this later on, but should start the co-working session first * Lite function update * Not much to update at the moment * Going to stick with `thermal_speed_coefficients` function only because can't get it to be fast otherwise * If Numba would cache, it would be helpful * Should keep thinking about how to improve it * Xarray ci nightly failures bot * https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/5366 * Should have `537.doc.1.rst` and `537.doc.2.rst` in development guide * Dominik wants to get to embedding requirements.txt in conda's env.yml
