+--------------------------
+= Discussion =
+
+* ChimeraX builds
+  - Build email is saying "Host key verification failed. fatal: Could not read from remote repository."
+  - Not clear if this is fetching chimerax source or build tools from github or something the Linux singularity build is doing.
+  - Greg can investigate later this week.
+
+* Recap of last week's NIAID meeting
+  - GLTF hierarchy
+  - Lights in GLTF, bad colors when embedded in PowerPoint or Microsoft Word.
+  - AlphaFold models in NIH 3D, what styles to output.
+  - Vision Pro avatar demo from Andi, creepy.
+
+* Alphafold prediction broke
+  - Google Colab web page change broke sequence being sent by ChimeraX to Colab virtual machine.
+  - Fixed but requires ChimeraX daily build.
+
+* python_instances_of_class crashes
+  - New ChimeraX crash resulting from garbage collection crash fix.
+  - Eric has 200 line command script that reproduces it.
+  - Involves sequences and sequence viewer must be shown.
+
+* Volume raytracing
+  - Zach says initial volume raytracing attempt too slow for interactive use.
+  - Investigating how to speed it up.
+  - Loic Royer wrote fast volume raytracer years ago, possibly called ClearVolume.  Might also be in Napari.
+
+* Mac Intel build failure
+  - Fails creating Info.plist because of new PDB-Redo fetch.
+  - Error says mtz file format does not exist.
+  - Fetch of mtz needs Clipper bundle from toolshed but during build the toolshed cache has not been loaded.
+  - Eric looking into solutions.
+
+* measure contactArea command
+  - Chimera measure contactArea command not in ChimeraX and needed to make Chimera image gallery binding site image.
+  - Krishnan from Biocryst asked about this in ChimeraX.
+  - Tom may port the contact area command to ChimeraX.
