Present: BW, MK, PJ, RO, AB, TM, FA

Code Camp

• PJ offered to host code camp at ANL either on December 11-13th, or January 2020.
  • It was agreed that Dec was too soon and difficult to arrange travel, so Jan 2020 would be better.
• Some discussion of what work should be targeted to justify a code camp
  • PJ points out lots of issues on github to clean, especially for the definitions release that is now overdue
• PJ asked where to publish details
  • BW has created a page on the wiki that can be viewed at https://www.nexusformat.org/CodeCamp2020.html
• PJ will create poll to decide precise dates

Executive Secretary and Membership Renewal Voting

• MB has left NeXus and resigned as executive secretary. This is an issue especially because we need to do quite a few membership votes which are normally handled by the executive secretary.
• BW will handle voting for membership renewals, except for the vote on his own membership, which will be handled by RO.
• Discussion of duties of executive secretary:
  • Run email voting
  • Take minutes of meetings, especially the full NIAC meetings
  • (BW currently takes minutes of telcos and can continue this)

Logo Drafts

• Some preference for the dark blue colour in version I and J
• Need to include consideration of background colour
• Need to consider a version with a square aspect ratio

Other Business

• Some web pages still only http - need to move to https
  • For example, the Manual
• Another telco in December - poll
