Agenda

Present:

Apologies:

JB: Firedrake namespacing

PF raises the point that some of our recent namespacing changes have undesirable consequences. However, sometimes this is necessary. There should be a discussion around having a policy on what needs to be added to the global namespace (eg: UFL yes, FML no).

Merge PRs

Note that PRs put in this section should either be trivial or already have been reviewed. Discussion-worthy PRs should be separate agenda items.
