* Action items

= Discussion =

* NTT Data level of effort
  - Level of effort for Eric, Elaine, TomG on NTT Data contract had to be adjusted to get total under 100% for each person so Phenix R24 grant can be started.
  - Tom Ferrin wants to discuss with Scooter implications for NTT Data work.
  - UCSF Contracts office has not been very responsive when setting up NTT Data contract.

* R01 progress report
  - Tom Ferrin working on R01 progress report due in May
  - Tom will send google doc link
  - Elaine and TomG should provide list of highlights added to ChimeraX in past year.

* John Chodera molecular software foundation
  - Tom Ferrin met with John Chodera to discuss John's new non-profit to support molecular software.
  - Goal is to raise $1 million per year from philanthropy, pharmaceutical companies, CZI...
  - Foundation would support Peter Eastman's work on OpenMM.
  - A separate Open Force Field Consortium exists set up by John Chodera.
  - John says it is ok that ChimeraX not freely redistributable.
  - Not clear if ChimeraX has a role in foundation.  Discussion is just to raise awareness.

* Apple Silicon
  - Tom Ferrin can order Mac Mini through Bear Buy, cdw-gov seller.
  - Can have it delivered directly to TomG's house.
  - Web reports say Apple M1 CPU 3 times faster running Python than some Intel machine.
  - Apple ARM machines not approved for UCSF use.  Officially not supposed to be on UCSF network.
  - Some lab (Sali) have their own firewall to isolate such machines.

* R01 next steps
  - Phenix R24 has specific model building and validation ChimeraX projects, like adding a user interface for Phenix multi-residue fragment extension or flexible ligand placement.
  - To handle overlap in new R01 proposal for cryoEM model building and validation, might just say "additional user interfaces to Phenix tools are funded by the Phenix R24 grant".
  - TomG will make google doc for new R01 proposal text.
  - Everyone can put ideas into the R01 proposal draft in brief form.
  - Specific aims can be refined to match the ideas listed in the proposal.
