## Minutes

* Erik will work on permittivity.  Like a lite-function for the moment, but will 
* Numba 0.55.0 works with Python 3.10, so our PR to test Python 3.10 is working. Will merge it shortly.
* Why do the tests for `astropy-dev`, `sphinx-dev`, ... all use Python 3.8?
    * It's so that when one of the `dev` versions drops their minimum Python version, we find out about it right away.
* Plasma calculator notebook
    * Should perhaps perform user experience testing and get some feedback that way.
    * Raj had an idea to have the notebook export a `.csv` file so that the results can be saved.
