| 22 | * Update ChimeraX dependencies |
| 23 | - Reviewed weekly email of PyPi dependencies that have newer versions. |
| 24 | - 2/3 have already been update to latest versions. |
| 25 | - Assigned who will update remaining ones. |
| 26 | - Still waiting for Qt 6.6.2 to be released (was supposed to happen last week). Then we update qt 6.3 to 6.6.2. |

| 28 | * ChimeraX PyPi package updates |
| 29 | - Decided we could do ChimeraX PyPi package update for each production release. |
| 30 | - Decided PyPi package does not need to be built every night. |
| 31 | - Next step is to provide Linux and Windows versions of PyPi package. |
| 32 | - Use ChimeraX 1.7.1 code. |
| 33 | - Also update Mac package which is from Oct 2023. |

| 35 | * Tom work in progress |
| 36 | - Did alphafold batch protein-protein interaction group meeting last week. |
| 37 | - Working on whether AlphaFold / ColabFold can run fast enough on Mac CPU. |
| 38 | - Trying to understand simple ColabFold optimizations that got 5x speed-up. |

| 40 | * Eric work in progress |
| 41 | - Debugging garbage collection crash. Have reproducible test case, but still no clear way to find cause. |
| 42 | - Adding build structure gui for joining with non-peptide bonds, choosing dihedral atoms to use. |
| 43 | - Looking at suboptimal idatm types for ring systems, double vs single bonds, for SPICE database molecules. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * Greg work in progress |
| 46 | - Getting flatpak nightly build going. Added flatpak support to current linux build configuration files. |
| 47 | - Looking at reading binary mmcif. PDB is dropping mmtf. Binary mmcif uses msgpack and does table column-wise compression. Used mostly for fast network transmission to molstar javascript in browser. May benefit ChimeraX speed if RCSB drops stylized mmcif which we rely on for speed. |

| 49 | * Zach work in progress |
| 50 | - Exploring speech input for chimerax vr. |
| 51 | - Sensitive to having a high quality microphone. |
| 52 | - Want to demonstrate speech next week during NIH visit. Simple demo with flaws is fine for NIAID collaborators. |
