Roundtable updates

  • JW – Mostly meeting stuff. Some protein porting, the conformer energies notebook. Still need to fix proline, finish chargeincrementhandler, CHARMM interface stuff

  • DD – Finishing up #572, writing test.s Lots of meeting commitments.

  • JS – Working on TSCC issues. They don’t know what’s going on

  • SB – working on a separate repository for automating the optimisation and benchmarking of force fields, based around a general RESTful API and a set of CLI utilities. Handy talks with Bayly

  • MT – Lots of meetings. Torn on prototyping system – Lots of inertia. Not sure about how to be involved in QC stuff

  • JH – Worked on QCSubmit and docs. Merged QCSubmit PR

  • DH – Worked on more detailed analysis of results. Added more calculations to close thermodynamics cycles on outliers. No coding. Gary Tresadarn wants to assemble a set of druglike molecule and measure Parsley performance, in terms of sampled conformations.

  • JRG – Worked on compiling AT for windows. Lots of work. Added X support to AmberTools. Development survey results.

  • TG – Lots of work on QCFractal manager, debugging some issues. There are some jobs which are too large to return to server. BP just raised size limit and I seem to be clear. Lots of meetings. Working on autodock vina, impressed by openbabel.

Task assignment

  • Using Trello this time

    • Any blockers to using Trello?

      • TG – Can we use a Atlassian product instead? Something native to confluence?

        • JW – Everything Atlassian goes through MSKCC, which is really slow and hard to deal with

      • MT – do we anticipate this being public? Do we anticipate non-SS folks on this?

        • Could be public. Should be SSes, at least initially
