Technical Lead Call

Minutes 11 February 2021

  • Attendance: Klaus, Bouwe, Brei, Remi, Manu, Saskia, V
  • Next meetings convener/frequency: V/bi-monthly
  • Saskia: her dept. needs a Roadmap
    • Bouwe points us to the existing roadmap: https://www.esmvaltool.org/roadmap.html
    • Klaus/Bouwe: this should be responsability of the Steering Group (which is not yet)
    • Saskia clarifies: more what's gonna be in the next releases
    • Klaus/Bouwe/Remi: work with Milestones more (various points about Milestones)
    • Klaus: keep the current roadmap at high-level, attach Release planning, and Milestones part of a more detailed -> Steering Group + Interpanel
    • Point in case: if every PR should have a Milestone attached to it. This would help users know what's gonna be in the next release(s) - sounds good from everyone
  • Bouwe: we have to update the release schedule and release managers: possible Saskia
  • Bouwe/Remi: decide on a big 3.0? We need to talk about a major release, but..
  • ...Klaus: we should do the 2.X's further down the line; continue with 2.X and assign "2.X" version names to Milestones
  • Klaus: number of open pull resquests has dimished
    • Manu: auto closing of issues/PRs if no activity (iris-style)
    • Bouwe: still relevant even if there is no activity
    • Klaus: suggesting keeping things as they are assigning Milestones will control this better
  • Bouwe: PRIMAVERA work gonna get finished?
    • Saskia: her work is done; Javi's bit will be disbanded
    • Klaus: limited interest overall, but there may still be interest even now -> some stuff is interesting
    • Bouwe: rather keep the attitude of helping with diags rather than write them for scientists
    • Klaus: we got praised at the Workshop as a solid community
    • Klaus: some PRIMAVERA diags are still very relevant: blocking, heat content etc -> we'll contact some of the developers see what we can do about them - Klaus will do that (thanks, dude!)
  • Birgit: ESMValTool is THE German model evaluator, we can now ask for programming help, to integrate various external packages/functionalities - proposals start in early/mid summer! Sounds very promising: Birgit will update us with more details as they come;
