2023-02-15 Mitchell/Wagner Check-in meeting notes

General updates

• JW – Talked to a startup guy - Their ML core is using your toolkit showcase example notebook verbatim as a core part of their pipeline.

• JW – MT wants to know how to proceed with the ForksBalance-BespokeFit interface to get it to a place where you would accept it as an alternate optimizer.

• JW – Does bespokefit work with FB 1.9.5?

• JW – Re: No longer doing work within job description - We could probably update your title if desired. Gov board will review finances mid-year but we’re uncertain if there are funds for raises after hiring a PM. Also OpenFF didn’t give most people raises last year so they may opt to bump other folks before coming around again.

Trello

• JW – I assume you’ve just been doing nagl docs with some bespokefit issues on the side
