+
+Trip went well but Phil and Meghan got sick afterward. Phil used ChimeraX a bit, students had it installed. Unrelated to Senegal trip, one student from Mali is coming to do a postdoc with NIAID. In Senegal, some attendees were from other Mali and Uganda. There was a hackathon, and some students made virtual posters in Nduvo. Attendance and engagement were high, and one instructor from Mali wanted Phil's slides to use in her own teaching.
+
+Phil: Re NIH3D workflow, testing Eric's latest changes and haven't noticed any issues yet. There are so many outputs, it's easy to get lost, but that is something we need to sort out for ourselves. Each one seems useful in its own way.  Thanks to Eric for all his efforts (clapping hands icon from Bhinnata)! Release may be sometime next week. Phil: I still need to write the release notes.
+
+Phil: shows current NIH3D in progress, looks great, different thumbnails at the bottom allow quickly switching the 3D view. We need to put them in a well-defined order to present to the users. Kristen: I thought we did that, but maybe it's not implemented yet. Phil: any other issues?  Kristen: not that I know of.
+
+Darrell asks about user base of ChimeraX.  Elaine: cryoEM people are most of the cutting-edge papers, but we also have a significant number of general molecular modeling people, especially recently for viewing !AlphaFold predictions.  Eric: we are more dominant in cryoEM, as there is more competition for general molecular modeling.  Darrell: Pymol can be obtained in packages instead of a download from a website, any developments along those lines? Zach: Greg and I were working on changing licensing to agreement upon first use rather than at download, which would then enable different ways of getting ChimeraX.
+
+Kristen: is the GLTF center-each-node option in the daily build? Elaine and Eric: after consulting daily build usage and code notes, yes, and true by default.
+
+Phil reports a problem with alphafold fetch, works for us in the same versions of ChimeraX, Eric figured out it was his connection to UniProt since it also doesn't work for him to use "open" on a uniprot sequence. Phil will report a bug.
