We had some discussion about the code sprint aftermath as well as the upcoming CG&A paper. Not much worth recording there.

At the end of the meeting we had a discussion on what we expect to get accomplished before the VTK-m version 1.0 release, which we are targeting for January 2016. The following is a list of items that we discussed.

• Settling of the core interface
• Standardization of "filters"
  • What is the distinction between multipass worklets and filters?
  • Rob has a proposal for filter interfaces in issue #17
• Support worklet operations that are not one-to-one output
• Basic file I/O
• Basic rendering
• Documentation
  • Clean up doxygen
  • User's Guide
• Green dashboard
• Prototype VTK/ParaView/VisIt integration
  • (Technically not part of the release, but should indicate we have viable components.)
