ECP task updates
Roundtable
Wiki might go down real soon. Might need to capture.
We need some redesign design workflow for branchy release process
- When we create a VTK-m release, we have a branch for that release (at least until the subsequent release).
- New feature development continues on the main branch
- _Bug fixes_ happen off the release branch
- Get merged to both the release branch and the master branch
- This in principal should already be supported by GitLab
- Just create a merge request on a different branch
- Will need to add support to gitlab-push
- Ask VTK folks. They might just have a select few to do a special process.
- Need to check that bot stuff works (CI builds, Do: merge, etc.)
Should think about releasing VTK-m 1.6, 2.0.

Matt working on WarpX highlight.
Rename master branch?
- Need to wait for some changes to git before the transition (for some automated features of repo).
- Can we for a time have a master that mirrors the new default?
- Don't know, but seems possible. Will have to look into that.
