<div dir="ltr"><div>Okay it's long past time to get this VTK ARB going again. We're almost through the first year of the VTK Maintenance grant, we had a recent successful hackathon, Berk's team is kicking some serious VTK development posterior thanks to our DOE and other friends, and Bill must have hired a new unpaid intern in his basement :-) The point is there is a lot going on and it's time to get our arms around current and future VTK activities and make sure we don't get off track.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Based on the response to my earlier email, this is the new composition of the ARB in alphabetical order (the old list is here, I'll change it shortly). Please let me know if there is a misunderstanding or error in the list, or you feel we've missed someone.</div>

Several of us in the VTK community would like to reinvigorate the VTK ARB. If you'd like to continue as a VTK ARB member please respond to this email sometime during the coming week. Otherwise we'll identify a replacement and bring them on board. We are also going to resume regular (monthly) meetings; please make sure that you can commit to that level of involvement.</div>

Despite being 20 years old this year, there are several exciting projects driving VTK in the near future. As many of you know, we received a 4-year grant from the NIH for VTK support, with a particular focus on rendering and community support. We are also seeing increased interest from the HPC community to improve VTK's many core capability. Other significant areas of interest include VTK web support, as well as improvements to the engineering simulation process. The point is that VTK is still very vital and we need the help of the community to make sure it remains a premiere toolset for scientific computing.</div>
