15 December 2014 meeting, Noon - 1:00

Attendees

• TomG, Eric, Greg, Sam, TomF (scribe)

Agenda

• Flesh out more details for Feb 1 demo
  • We renewed with our prior commitment that showing molecular surfaces and volumes was critical
    • Showing something in this area that Chimera 1 cannot do is desirable, but unsure what to aim for
    • Since MDA has not been seen by the advisory committee, that would be nice but is probably too ambitious
    • A _lot_ of work is needed to get a functional molecular display -- no model class currently exists
    • Lack of a functioning tool shed and tool manager is holding up progress on other components
• How can we make progress given the Chimera2 components that are now available?
  • There was discussion about what all within the core the tool manager will manage
  • In order to move forward at least a little now, we decided that a basic open command could be implemented without the tool manager even if it needed to be rewritten it later

Next Meeting

• Demo open and display of a triangle mesh file by Greg
