Dear NEST Users & Developers! I would like to invite you to our next fortnightly Open NEST Developer Video Conference today Monday April 8, at 11:30 CEST (UTC+0200). As usual, in the Project team round, a contact person of each team will give a short statement summarizing ongoing and planned work in the team and highlight 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. Special topic today is the status of the upcoming NEST 3.7 release. Feel free to join the meeting also if it’s just to bring your own quick questions for direct discussion in the in-depth section.
