specfem monthly zoom hour

[carltape]

The specfem team is announcing a (hopefully) monthly zoom hour for developers and users. The focus will be on coordinating development. Users are welcome to join, listen, and raise issues. If you might be interested in participating, please fill out the short google survey here
We will collect the email addresses and send zoom login details.

The first discussion is planned for Wed Nov 30th at 0800 US Pacific coast time, 1100 US Eastern time, 1700 central Europe.

[carltape]

Reminder: if interested, please sign up for the zoom hour discussion following the link at the start of this discussion. This first discussion will be informal: partly social, mostly code/org/community developments.

[danielpeter]

To put some items on our discussion list for this zoom meeting, this here would be something I'd like to go through quickly:

• upcoming releases: shall we clear out the git history before the releases or after?
• external source time functions: can we unify the 3 implementations in the 2D, 3D_Cartesian and 3D_Globe versions?
• meshing: how could we mesh urban areas, i.e., buildings, with some simple approaches?

[carltape]

Hi all, it was great to see everyone on the Nov 30th zoom. It's time to schedule the next one. We're aiming for the first Wed of every month at the following times:
Alaska 0800
US Eastern 1200
Europe 1800
KAUST 2000
For January, though, we'll take the 2nd Wednesday (January 11). The one after that will be Feb 1st. If you have not previously signed up, please do so at the link at the top of this thread; I'll email the zoom details. If you previously signed up, there's no need to do so again. Thanks for your participation.

I made a recurring event in google calendar. Hopefully this will work:

(Can someone let me know whether you see the Jan 11 and Feb 1 events?)

Also, people should share their AGU plans on the call. Jeroen Tromp is giving the 2025 Gutenberg Lecture, which is definitely going to contain some specfem highlights. And Heiner Igel is being honored as an AGU Fellow.
