Discussion Topic: Sprint 3 Stand Up 5
Attending: Chris, J, Brian, Ingrid
Start: 2205 Eastern
End: 2258 Eastern
Summary:
Discussed current issues with MTK and FreeCAD/CADQuery python compatibility, as well as getting an overview of the discussions in the MIT OS CAD group Jeremy is involved in.
Minutes:
- Did - Completed wiki updates and resources for Yavin and MTK
- Will do - work on Chris’ blocker
- Blocked? - None
- Did -
- Will do -
- Blocked? -
- Did - Reorganized the subversion repository so that the project structure is more along the lines of what we’ll need long term. Completed changes for the unit tests for the pressure vessel calculation class. Allso started to work on integrating pressure vessel library with MTK documents.
- Will do - Work on my blocker
- Blocked? - IPython does not seem to bring in the paths as expected. The directory that the notebook was launched from is not available within the path, so the code contained within the directory is not available. This is not the case when the directory the notebook was launched from is the same directory that contains the kernel.
- Did - Experimented with CAD unit tests so that we can test the models that were generated
- Will do - Keep working on CAD unit tests
- Blocked? - FreeCAD library does not work with Python 3
- J - We should be able to keep CADQuery/FreeCAD using Python 2.7 and MTK using Python 3 as long as the Python library is backwards compatible (which it is right now).
- Discussed work on using Zapier as a messaging platform to take donor information from PayPal and add it to SuiteCRM
- Discussed what’s going on with the MIT OS CAD group
- Jeremy - The group is currently discussing what type of kernel might be best to use. Options include Function Representation (F-Rep) kernels (wikipedia), Boundary Representation (B-Rep) kernels (wikipedia), and NURBS kernels (wikipedia)
- Chris - Is there a list or something where we can pay attention to what’s going on with the group?
