Attendees
- Eric, Greg, TomG, Elaine, Scooter, TomF
Agenda
- Action items
- Chimera
- Remove web option from AutoDock Vina and PDB2PQR in 1.16 daily build?
- RMF reading broken on Mac in 1.15
- ChimeraX
- Whither Qt support? Qt 5.15.3 is commercial only. Qt 6 is open source.
- PySide2 vs PyQt5 - lacking OpenGL support, webcam support, no response from pyside2 mailing list or pyside bug report.
- Funding
- NETE - plan for next contract
- CZI Visual Proteomics Imaging RFA, due Feb 21, 2021
- R24 plan, NIAID or NIGMS
- U24 funding, this is what Cytoscape applied for.
- SPOKE
Discussion
- New group meeting time
- Group meeting changed to 11 AM Thursday to allow time for lunch.
- Vaccine distribution
- Scooter volunteering.
- Up to 1 person vaccinated every minute at Mission Hall in Mission Bay.
- Chimera
- Eric will remove the AutoDock Vina web interface from Chimera daily build.
- Eric will spend no more than a day trying to fix the Chimera RMF linking problem.
- ChimeraX
- We stick with Qt 5.15.2 for now.
- Qt license for 3 developers is $12,000 per year.
- Would be desirable to switch to the qt python module shim that handles either PyQt or PySide. Tom will look at this is feasible.
- Tom Ferrin says UC Tech Transfer and UCOP agreed to public ChimeraX source code on GitHub.
- TomG sent email to Chris Swain proposing workshop ideas on Dec 17 but he has not replied.
- NETE
- Next contract areas: VR, HuBMAP, segmentation
- Possibly continued support for NIH 3D pipeline if needed.
- We need to draft a new contract in cooperation with Darrell by February 15.
- We will need to make a "task order", and hope to have funding start March 1.
- U24
- Possible funding mechanism for ChimeraX.
- U24 allows engineering and support. It is a contract rather than a grant.
- Recent funding application for Cytoscape was an NIGMS U24. Do not have results yet.
- Ask if NIAID has U24 RFA, see if other NIH institutes have U24. If NIAID, could continue working with Darrell BCBB projects through a U24.
- VPN
- Scooter is using VPN on linux. Having Alex try to set it up. Still needs to write setup instructions.
- VPN is seeing significant use.
- Next VPN step is to try to setup Duo 2-factor authentication using a shim in front of Radius server. Scooter will try this although it will disrupt VPN use. Apparently you request the type of 2-factor authentication (push, text, ubikey) by putting a ",push" after your password.
- Backups
- In event of a ransomware attack we need tape backup index files and software to be able to restore from tape. Eric will make a tar file with those and it will be distributed to different safe locations.
- Eric will make a shell script to run backups from cron. Currently many commands in cron. This will allow Eric to adjust script.
- Discussion of whether additional plato directories beyond /etc should be backed up.
Action Items

- Create backup shell script that is run from cron. Eric
- Evaluate if qt shim handling PyQt and PySide is feasible. TomG
- Figure out what additional plato directories need backup. Scooter
- Try to setup 2-factor authentication for vpn, Scooter
- Test new vpn on linux and document. Scooter
Reply to Chris Swain about ChimeraX 2 hour workshop. TomGPut ChimeraX license up on github: TomFVerify that public ChimeraX github ok, UCSF Tech Transfer? TomF will checkPut important feature enhancements, already done or planned, on roadmap. TomG, Eric, Elaine, Greg
