17:30 – Room 7a

General discussion - What can we achieve at the workshop ? ( 30min)

- Identify areas of overlap and collaboration.
- Identify missing functionality including limitations in physics models and user interfaces.
- Identify missing documentation.
- Identify people responsible for code development in each case.
- Identify repositories for software.
- Identify who is already using or planning to use each package.

Our goal is to collate information from this discussion into three tables to set the agenda for the remainder of the workshop as follows:
table 1 – Software status
table 2 – Participant status (ongoing tasks + interests)
table 3 - goals of code development for Wednesday and Thursday

Wed 10th Nov
