Apologies:

Firedrake 2022

Transport: Try to set up a coach starting from Imperial that will go through different places to collect people. Return on Friday afternoon.

Departure time: 8-9 am since we probably want to be there by 1pm (travel time: 4h30)

JB: Move PyOP2 and FInAT to firedrakeproject

This should be fine, github will move the PRs, issues, etc. automatically.

ALL: do things with SV's branches

Notes on Sophia's code: https://hackmd.io/UHCwsYaTTzyaWUIFSe9axg

-> Someone that knows enough about the branches should take this over

UFL update

• Need to merge FEniCS master: Make a UFL branch merging fenics master and a firedrake branch linked to the UFL branch to check that we don't break anything.

• Fix the accidental merge of a PR into Firedrake UFL and not in FEnICS UFL -> We can take it out. The concern being that people might be using it.

JB: Issues and new wiki section

JB has been closing a bunch of issues. JB and CW have made a policy section in the wiki about closing installation issues and python version support

Merge PRs

Allow for Q and DQ on hexahedral meshes (except dS integrals): Approved. Comments have been addressed -> ready to go

Periodic extrusion: Reviewed. Add TorusMesh and AnnulusMesh functions + some docs
