[Rivet] Rivet monthly meetings

[Andy Buckley]

Hi all,

Apologies not to have followed up on this -- I've had a few big end-of-July deadlines keeping me busy this month, but all will be well after Wednesday! On which note, and based on the few feedback comments I received, I suggest that we have our first Rivet monthly meeting on
Thu 2 August at 3pm UK / 4pm CEST via Vidyo (I will set up a room)
If this slot is bad for whatever reason, please let me know asap. Jon this is 7am Pacific -- I don't know if that counts as antisocial by your (jet-lagged?) standards! We could move it a bit later if that's possible for CEST time-zoners.
The meeting shouldn't take longer than an hour, hopefully including the ever-present technical connection issues. Obvious things to discuss are the follow-up on Lunga to-do's, the 2.6.1 and 3.0 releases, recent developments, and the upcoming Copenhagen workshop on Rivet for heavy-ions. Message me if you want to add anything to this informal agenda.
Best wishes,
Andy

This should help to engage more than the now very small "core team" in extending, improving, and using Rivet and the associated tools.
> I'm not a fan of meetings for the sake of meetings, so this would explicitly not be that: a chance to discuss and assign features & analyses that we want, keep the progress going towards big features like the v3.0/multiweight release, and plan work towards physics studies & papers that make use of Rivet. Once a month seems about right for that.
