= Agenda =

* ChimeraX
  - Why is Linux installation for Chimera so much more seamless?
  - Task termination at app quit
  - Rename ChimeraX.exe on Windows?
* Chimera
  - Chimera 1.16 release.
* Action items

= Discussion =

* Simplifying Linux ChimeraX distribution
  - Chimera has just one linux distribution, includes ancient versions of all libraries and monkey patches python stuff.
  - ChimeraX has multiple Linux distributions and uses system packages.
  - Greg would like to investigate having a single flatpack Linux distribution.
  - Current linux downloads are only 14% of all downloads (51% Windows, 34% Mac).
  - Users reported ChimeraX install not working on Debian 10.
    * Should remove llvm dependency from Ubuntu 18 ChimeraX to fix this.

* ChimeraX 1.3 release
  - First release candidate was on download page Monday October 25.
  - Four active tickets
    * Download page is done.
    * ffmpeg on linux missing libbz2 dependency is done.
    * Command to install pypi packages, nice but not required for 1.3
    * WebProfile warnings on exit, nice to fix for 1.3 but not required.
  - Greg will add ticket for adding checkbox to update gui so users who cannot update to 1.4 can stop being reminded about it.  This is needed for 1.3 release.
  - Eric fixed a couple major bugs in release candidate yesterday.

* Package updates for ChimeraX 1.4
  - Python 3.10 out, requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 which is not installed on older Linux.
  - Probably stick with Python 3.9 for next release.
  - Might try to switch to Qt 6 for ChimeraX 1.4 release in 6 months.  Will need extensive testing.
  - Greg will make PyQt 6.2.1 licensed wheels.
  - Tom will fix Qt 6 namespace (QAction and enumeration value) compatibility

* Automatic testing when code changes
  - Zach setup automatic testing on the cxservices backend github repository.
  - Tests run whenever new commit made or pull request made.
  - Tests include job id, polling interval, blast, ....
  - Zach will present at a developer meeting how this is setup, how results are shown, what tests look like, details of how this works.

* Chimera 1.16 release
  - macOS 12 Monterey released last Monday.  Chimera passed 3 minutes of basic hand testing.
  - Try for Chimera 1.16 release November 29 after users have had a chance to try it and report bugs with macOS Monterey.
  - We will skip release candidates since daily build serves that purpose and changes infrequently.  Daily build will just be promoted to an official 1.16 release.

= Action Items =
  - Git remove hydra, wsgi, llgr and other unused directories to avoid confusing new developers.  Tom
  - Remove pkg-config prereq if it is not being used for builds. Tom
