Meeting Update for week of July 10, 2011

Alfalfa, the new grass-style machine, is now <palpatine_voice>fully operational</palpatine_voice>. It can be reached via ssh: 

ssh <username>@alfalfa.pas.rochester.edu

Users still need a VPN to connect to alfalfa from off-campus, but no VPN is needed to connect from another machine in the PAS domain.

All of the modules accessible on grass and clover are accessible on alfalfa, as is ifort. AstroBEAR's Makefile.inc.grass seems to work for alfalfa as well.

It turns out we lost email notifications when the wiki was brought back online, due to changes in the department's SMTP protocol configurations. This problem has since been fixed, and users are receiving emails about tickets again. We are still working to restore notifications about repository checkins.

I've created a page about scaling in AstroBEAR; it's still pretty rudimentary, but it's at least RFC-ready at this point. This is part of my effort to consolidate some of the ​tags in our wiki, and eliminating the 'attention-needed' category. Most of other 'attention-needed' pages were based on AstroBEAR 1.0 specs, so I moved them over to 'deprecated'.

Finally, an open question for the group: what should go on the visualization page? Most of the visualization tutorials are on the [Tutorials tutorials] page; should they be linked on the visualization page as well? Is there something else entirely that people would like to see there?
