## Minutes

* Erik has put up days 1-2 in the videos on the YouTube. 
    * Adding a title slide and ending slide
    * Wants to add chapters
    * David only needs the link to 
    * On hack week site, should have an index
* David sent an email with CSSI program manager about getting t-shirts, DPP booth.
    * They asked for a more detailed budget.
    * David will coordinate that.
* DPP booth
    * Nick won't be able to go but can be present via a monitor
    * Nick makes brilliant Max Headroom reference that nobody gets
* What are next steps for `plasmapy.dispersion`?
    * Numerical solver
        * This would be a lot of work.
        * Is a full general dispersion solver warranted?
        * There are some codes that are out there...often written in Fortran
        * Highly nonlinear PDEs that sometimes have poor convergence and are difficult to solve
    * Post about [future PlasmaPy working groups](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/discussions/1260)
        * Dispersion join with transport maybe?
    * Don't know of a Python full Vlasov solver
        * Would be useful to have in PlasmaPy
        * But could take months of work
    * Could start by working on Fortran code approach and trying to get it to work
    * Can come back to which topics to approach after Bellan dispersion stuff
