Dear NEST Users & Developers! I would like to invite you to our next fortnightly Open NEST Developer Video Conference, today Monday 29 March, 11.30-12.30 CEST (UTC+2). 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 we have two potential topics for the in-depth discussion. The first is probably not that much to discuss, but we'd be interested in everyone's point of view. The second one touches many areas of the simulator and new scientific use-cases. Agenda     Welcome     Review of NEST User Mailing List     Project team round     In-depth discussion * CMake targets vs. CMake flags #1905 Microhackathon * Discuss dump/reload of connectivity (/not/ checkpointing!)
