Coordination with DTC CCPP team

• How best to make sure both teams are in sync with each others activities and priorities?
  • Review of open issues
  • Review and assign PRs that need attention

Comments:

• Main problems are A. We have no resources to address most of these issues B. Capgen being incomplete is blocking most active development
• Some discussion about SIMA review purgatory
• Capgen differences from existing prebuild
  1. Items that are different in prebuild but UFS would be willing to adopt
  2. Items added for UFS needs and NCAR wants or is willing to adopt
  3. Items added for UFS that NCAR/CGD does not need

Action items:

• Mike will go through issues and see if any are in need of further discussion in 2 weeks
• In future meetings, we will discuss new issues and if any more action items are needed.
• Priority items
  • Unit tests!
  • What items in the framework are most important to the people who are funded to work on this?
    • DTC (discuss at Thursday meeting)
    • NCAR CGD (results of SIMA review?)
    • NCAR MMM
      • CM1
      • MPAS?
    • NCAR other?

Wiki updates

• As discussed previously, ccpp-framework Wiki is very out-of-date in places
• Mike has made some updates where needed, but needs feedback on some pages:
  • Replaced gmtb-help@ucar.edu (unmonitored?) and linked to discussions pages
    • https://dtcenter.org/forum/ccpp-user-support ?
  • Need to update and expand the Development Workflow page, especially with regards to testing
  • Need to update Governance
• Should we still link to the CCPP requirements page? It has basically no current info, but it could be a nice place to store details for someone looking to start with an existing scheme and make it CCPP-compliant. Requirements are nominally in the Tech Doc, but that is currently lacking in detail and completeness.

Action items:

• Open issues in repo about the above issues

Other business

• Is there any objection to keeping these meeting notes in Google Docs? The live updating feature is quite useful for note-taking
• Use screen-sharing instead
  • Mike Kavulich will be the screen-sharer and note-taker going forward
