Agenda

  • Jeff: Review action items from last meeting.
    • Kitware will continue work on move to git.

    • Brad King will remove the commit check of std, and Bill will test out what happens if you use it in examples.
  • Berk: Move to git and new workflow.
  • Berk/Jeff: Wrapping discussion. What exactly needs to be wrapped? Should there be well-defined properties?
  • All: Discussion on the scope of VTK
    • Should we work on modularization, glue code to other toolkits?
    • Titan (VTK + informatics) and it's new repository could test out some ideas.
