Agenda

• 2019 NeXus Code Camp
• HDF5 European Workshop for Science and Industry (ESRF 17-18 September)

Minutes

Present: BW, MK, HB, AB

HDF5 Workshop

• BW to attend and represent NeXus.
• HB has been seeing many bugs when trying to run the .10 version in high-performance situations. Detectors like the Eiger need a parallel file system (e.g. GPFS) to keep up with the data rate, but the HDF5 library has not been very stable.
  • We should ask the HDF group to please stabilise the HDF5_1.10 library on parallel file systems.
  • Perhaps we can help organise facilities to combine efforts?

NeXus Code Camp

• MB to talk to David Hall about code camp dates
  • Brexit issues (visas for EU citizens)
  • Check dates

Other Business

• MK asks HB about how NXmx has been viewed by the community. HB replies that NXmx is a success with ongoing collaborations and millions of images recorded using NXmx.

• MB to leave Diamond in December and step down as NeXus Executive Secretary.

  • Asks for feedback on recent pull request.
  • BW asked MB to prod Mark Herron regarding discussions about EU projects.
