Dear NEST Users & Developers!

I would like to invite you to our next fortnightly Open NEST Developer Video Conference, today

Monday 1 March, 11.30-12.30 CET (UTC+1).

As usual, in the Project team round, a contact person of each team will give a short statement summarizing ongoing work in the team and cross-cutting points that need discussion among the teams. The remainder of the meeting we would go into a more in-depth discussion of topics that came up on the mailing list or that are suggested by the teams.

Today this would for example be a discussion about changing the minimum required Python version.


Agenda

    Review of NEST User Mailing List

Log-in information

We use a virtual conference room provided by DFN (Deutsches Forschungsnetz).

You can use the web client to connect. We however encourage everyone to use a headset for better audio quality or even a proper video conferencing system (see below) or software when available.

Web client

* Visit https://conf.dfn.de/webapp/conference/97938800
* Enter your name and allow your browser to use camera and microphone
* The conference does not need a PIN to join, just click join and you're in.

In case you see a dfnconf logo and the phrase "Auf den Meetingveranstalter warten", just be patient, the meeting host needs to join first (a voice will tell you).


VC system/software

How to log in with a video conferencing system, depends on you VC system or software.

For those who do not have a video conference system or suitable

videoconferencing in various and sometimes confusing ways.
