6. Pull requests in progress 
    1. [PR 979](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/979) Relativistic Boris push
    2. [PR 974](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/974) Fitting Thomson scattering spectra
    3. [PR 1123](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/1123) Line Integrated Diagnostics initial PR

## Attendees

* Erik
* Peter

## Action Items

***Peter***
* Make changes discussed to LineIntegratedDiagnostic
* Make SyntheticProtonRadiograph a subclass of LineIntegratedDiagnostic

***Erik***
* priorities:
    * finish documentation automodapi for Thomson stuff
    * implement lite function stuff for Thomson
    * skim review PR 1123

## Minutes

* Changed the scope and time going forwards
    * Meeting will be about diagnostics in general
    * Now meeting 10am PT every other week on Monday starting May 10
* [PR 1123](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/1123): Line Integrated Diagnostic
    * Integrate a given quantity along a given path (no particle tracing)
    * good for optical diagnostics and proton with low deflection
    * Had good discussion about implementation and API
    * time frame is independent of the Thomson stuff
    * READY for an initial review skim
