+* ChimeraX 1.7 release
+  - Plan is to make release Wednesday if Greg has registration interface working when adding users to announce mailing list.
+  - Eric tested Greg's mailing list registration from ChimeraX, did not work using his Google email, no invitation to join, claimed he was already subscribed which is not the case.
+  - Greg tested list registration cgi script standalone and it worked.
+  - Greg will investigate why ChimeraX interface to add to list does not work.
+  - Chimera and ChimeraX are both using the same CGI script to add users to announce list.
+  - Discussed why the new method requires sending an invitation email.  Greg says it is best practices to confirm that the email address is valid.  We agreed.
+
+* Safe mode for builds
+  - User installed bundles can break building ChimeraX.
+  - Would like safe mode to ignore the user installed bundles.
+  - This was a 1.7 ticket but has been remilestoned for 1.8.
+  - Eric requests this get fixed soon, not waiting until 1.8 release.
+  - Currently safe mode ignores bundle custom initialization routines but it looks at dependencies of user installed bundles and fails if dependencies are missing.
+  - Greg will look at improving safe mode to not use any user installed bundles.
+
+* Backup tape robotics
+  - Eric working on finicky backup tape robotics.
+
+* Tetrahedron residue representation
+  - Tom testing Inner Space VR demonstration from Helen Berman.  Application does not start.
+  - Also looking at tetrahedron computing ChimeraX Python developed by Jitin Singla's lab.  No command version available.
