Agenda

1. Welcome

   • starting a bit late, HEP is excused

2. Python test framework (see #761, #677 and #762) (from last meeting)

   • pytest was used on smaller projects. This may be an alternative to nosetest. Tests seem to be easily transferable. We have examples for unittests. pytest is simpler but we would have to rewrite a lot.

   • Tests with different Python versions: Do python2.7 for the full matrix, and python3 only for the maximum build.

3. Report of release planning: NEST-2.12.1 and NEST-3

   • Bug fixing in 2.12.1. There are milestones and pull requests for both releases already.

4. Review of NEST User Mailing List

   • everything handled.

5. Review of open Github Pull Request

   • new version of travis causes problem. Have reported bug #8048 to Travis. There is a crude workaround available, but likely they see this as a bug.

6. Review of open Github Issues

   • decision to have an automatically searched but sanity checked list of nestmodules on the web page. The check is not for quality or functionality, just that the contents is not inappropriate.
