= Agenda =

* Back up the Chimera build machine to a solid state drive, Windows 7.

--------------------------
= Discussion =

* ChimeraX 1.8 release
  - Plan to release on Thursday if nothing new comes up.
  - Eric will put in StructureSeq fix today.

* Make clean needs ChimeraX build to exist
  - Makefile.bundle has error code if the built Python does not exist, but that is actually not needed by the clean target.
  - Greg will fix

* pip being used in Makefile.bundle
  - Makefile needs to use our build Python not the system Python.
  - Zach will fix it.

* Dark mode
  - Greg trying ChimeraX in Qt 6.7 dark mode.
  - PyQt 6.7.1 is missing QWebEngineCore library, so waiting for 6.7.2 which is not yet out.

--------------------------
= Action Items =

* Zach remove direct use of pip in Makefile.bundle.  Use something like $(PYTHON) -m pip so the correct Python is used.
