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

* Trac
  - Has been working well for all of us since password protecting top level.

* ChimeraX 1.10.1 release
  - Disabled reregistration warning by setting expiration in 2124.
  - Zach will make sure ffmpeg has execute permission in Mac ARM and Intel builds.
  - Session restore lz4 problem.  We will report bug to lz4 project.
  - Pip check failing on openmm-cuda nvidia dependencies for Tom, probably because he is on week old boltz 2 branch where Zach's openmm-cuda patch to remove nvidia dependencies was not yet in place.
  - Zach will make candidate 1.10.1 builds for us to verify 5 bugs are fixed.  Then we will make release on Thursday if all looks good.

* Cancel group meeting?
  - Next two Thursday group meetings are cancelled since Tom Ferrin and Scooter are away.
  - If topics arise we can discuss in adhoc Thursday meeting in the office.
