= Attendees =

* Zach, Eric,  Elaine, Greg, TomG, Scooter

On-site Genentech Hall N436A

= Agenda =

* Zach CZI grant progress (see attachment for slides)
* Create ChimeraX 1.4 roadmap
* NIAID contract
* Review Action Items listed below

= Discussion Notes =

* NIAID contract
  - Scooter will talk to Darrell and with UCSF and MSC finance people to figure out hourly vs fixed price contract.
  - Everyone should look at statement of work today and make modifications for reduction from 12 month time period to 10 months.

* Computer security
  - Some SPOKE developers work with PHI Wynton data so cannot use plato which prohibits PHI data users.
  - May setup a plato-phi wynton node that can do plato sudo SPOKE operations and be managed by wynton team meeting PHI requirements.
  - plato-phi should not effect any uses we make of plato
  - Security audit - UCSF may pay for new system administrator to implement requirements of security audit.

* Wynton
  - Scooter giving presentation next week to UCSF IT governance committee on adding backups to Wynton.

* New offices
  - Elaine is moving to Conrad's old office in N453.
  - Scooter is moving to Al's old office in N453.
  - Zach needs an office key.

* CZI grant progress report by Zach
  - Chimera session converter
    * Zach made ticket of things left to do on this.
    * Probably development will be done by Eric and TomG (volumes).
  - REST
    * Modeller has been ported from Opal to REST and is in daily builds.
    * Currently working with Eric to port alignment services to REST.
    * Plan is to have ported alignment services in ChimeraX 1.4 release.
    * 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.
    * We should give Chimera users warning that web services are likely to be dropped in 1-2 years due to circumstances beyond our control.
  - Qt 6
    * 525 downloads of daily builds since March 11 with Qt 6
    * 7 open Qt 6 tickets, none show-stoppers
    * Still intend to release ChimeraX 1.4 with Qt 6
  - Vulkan
    * Reliable OpenGL on Mac M1 machines has made this unnecessary.
    * CZI reduced our requested funding and we told them we would drop this subproject.
  - ARM64 Mac port
    * 3 remaining packages to port: pytables, imagecodecs, netcdf4
    * netcdf4 may release arm64 port soon
    * imagecodecs and pytables available for arm64 mac on conda-forge.  Can use those.
    * Scooter suggests using conda-forge packages and completing this task with minimal effort.  Avoid becoming maintainers of PyPi versions of these packages.
  - PyPi library
    * Should we offer library or better non-gui ChimeraX?  Definitely library.
    * Discussed current python packaging methods for metadata, setup.cfg and pyproject.toml
    * Modernizing Toolshed packaging (bundle_info.xml) need not be connected to this project.  Would make it too hard.
    * TomG suggests making library in collaboration with specific developers who have requested it in the past to meet the most essential needs.

= Action Items =

* Move toolshed to it's own IP address and it's own Apache instance -- !Greg/Scooter
* Set up toolshed test instance (UCSF only) -- !Greg/Scooter
* Clean up !VirtualHosts on our web servers -- !Greg/Scooter
* Move webservices to https only and extensively test chimera to make sure it works
* Create self-signed certificate for webservices-test -- ongoing, Greg has run into a weird error
* Document new vpn setup on Linux -- Scooter
* Set up 2-factor authentication for hal2 vpn -- Scooter
* Audit followup -- Scooter
