There is an existing Spack package for VTK-m. Matt Larsen is currently doing it for Ascent. Kitware will take a look at creating a version of the package as part of version release.

Considering a 1.2 release in March.

Rob has been working on the CUDA 7.5 support.

Have updated the Wiki and the repo to drop Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 support.

Rob working on color tables for color mapping worklets.

It would be nice to have a wavelet (or wavelet-like) source/filter to generate data easily in ParaView and VisIt.

Allie is working on the OpenMP backend.

James has been working with VTK-m and VTK-m/IO, and Ascent.

Some thoughts on having a hackathon. It would be good to have one in 2018. It looks like August might be a convenient time for folks. Ken proposed having the meeting in Livermore again to encourage involvement there. Matt Larsen will look into availability of the space.
