[aspect-devel] ASPECT online user meeting, Aug 8, 9am PT

[Rene Gassmoeller]

Hi all,

It has been a while since the hackathon and as usual development has 
slowed down a bit afterwards to let everyone catch up with their 
day-to-day tasks. As discussed during the hackathon and our subsequent 
online participant meeting we would like to keep the community together 
and facilitate exchange of ideas and help by having a regular online 
user meeting. This meeting is not restricted to hackathon participants 
or long-time ASPECT users, we welcome everyone who might be interested 
in using ASPECT, from potential users to long-time principal developers. 
After some discussion we have set a date and time for the first meeting 
at Wednesday, Aug 8th, 9-10am pacific time. We will use the Zoom video 
conference software, and you can join the meeting using the following 
link (after installing the zoom software from https://zoom.us/download):

Before the meeting, please think about any questions or problems you 
encountered in your model studies, most likely somebody in the meeting 
had similar issues and can help you work around them. Also if you have 
ideas for new features that you would like to implement let us know 
about them so that we can give guidance on how to make the task as 
simple as possible.

We will start the meeting with a 15 min discussion about the differences 
between developing your own modifications of ASPECT, and merging them 
back into the main version. In particular, I would like to talk about 
when to do the one or the other, and how both is done most efficiently. 
Afterwards we can talk about recent developments in ASPECT, or your 
individual projects.

We plan to repeat this meeting about once a month on varying days to let 
everyone participate, so do not worry if you cannot make it this time. 
If you would like to have a longer discussion about a particular topic 
related to ASPECT, let me or any of the other principal developers know, 
and we can incorporate the topic in the next meeting.

Looking forward to seeing many of you next week!

Best,

Rene
