Agenda

Present:

Apologies:

JB: Black

(Low priority) We have had the conversation before in the past: Should we use black to autoformat code? Some formatting is inconsistent/bad. I have used black in a recent PR to cleanup utility_meshes.py.

JB: PyOP2

(Low priority) This PR changes testing from Python 3.6 to Python 3.7-3.11, is the matrix worth it? Should PyOP2 use our Firedrake runners? Should we move PyOP2 to Firedrake organisation?

Merge PRs

JB: Versioneer finally removed distutils dependency, so these are ready to go:

• https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/pull/2368,
• https://github.com/OP2/PyOP2/pull/678

JB: We can ignore this failing test (I think) https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/pull/2613
