| 17 | * NIAID contract |
| 18 | - Scooter will talk to Darrell and with UCSF and MSC finance people to figure out hourly vs fixed price contract. |
| 19 | - Everyone should look at statement of work today and make modifications for reduction from 12 month time period to 10 months. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * Computer security |
| 22 | - Some SPOKE developers work with PHI Wynton data so cannot use plato which prohibits PHI data users. |
| 23 | - May setup a plato-phi wynton node that can do plato sudo SPOKE operations and be managed by wynton team meeting PHI requirements. |
| 24 | - plato-phi should not effect any uses we make of plato |
| 25 | - Security audit - UCSF may pay for new system administrator to implement requirements of security audit. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * Wynton |
| 28 | - Scooter giving presentation next week to UCSF IT governance committee on adding backups to Wynton. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * New offices |
| 31 | - Elaine is moving to Conrad's old office in N453. |
| 32 | - Scooter is moving to Al's old office in N453. |
| 33 | - Zach needs an office key. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * CZI grant progress report by Zach |
| 36 | - Chimera session converter |
| 37 | * Zach made ticket of things left to do on this. |
| 38 | * Probably development will be done by Eric and TomG (volumes). |
| 39 | - REST |
| 40 | * Modeller has been ported from Opal to REST and is in daily builds. |
| 41 | * Currently working with Eric to port alignment services to REST. |
| 42 | * Plan is to have ported alignment services in ChimeraX 1.4 release. |
| 43 | * Opal may be shutdown when Wynton moves to CentOS 9 in 1 to 2 years because Opal will no longer run. This will eliminate Chimera web services. |
| 44 | * We should give Chimera users warning that web services are likely to be dropped in 1-2 years due to circumstances beyond our control. |
| 45 | - Qt 6 |
| 46 | * 525 downloads of daily builds since March 11 with Qt 6 |
| 47 | * 7 open Qt 6 tickets, none show-stoppers |
| 48 | * Still intend to release ChimeraX 1.4 with Qt 6 |
| 49 | - Vulkan |
| 50 | * Reliable OpenGL on Mac M1 machines has made this unnecessary. |
| 51 | * CZI reduced our requested funding and we told them we would drop this subproject. |
| 52 | - ARM64 Mac port |
| 53 | * 3 remaining packages to port: pytables, imagecodecs, netcdf4 |
| 54 | * netcdf4 may release arm64 port soon |
| 55 | * imagecodecs and pytables available for arm64 mac on conda-forge. Can use those. |
| 56 | * Scooter suggests using conda-forge packages and completing this task with minimal effort. Avoid becoming maintainers of PyPi versions of these packages. |
| 57 | - PyPi library |
| 58 | * Should we offer library or better non-gui ChimeraX? Definitely library. |
| 59 | * Discussed current python packaging methods for metadata, setup.cfg and pyproject.toml |
| 60 | * Modernizing Toolshed packaging (bundle_info.xml) need not be connected to this project. Would make it too hard. |
| 61 | * TomG suggests making library in collaboration with specific developers who have requested it in the past to meet the most essential needs. |
