I like the idea of involving the entire IMP community, however, my initial goals for this meeting were not quite as large as Barak suggested!  In that case, let's push the meeting off until next week so that we give people enough time to schedule and myself enough time to prepare a more focused agenda.

I'll suggest next *Tuesday, June 19th at 11AM Pacific Time.* The meeting will go no longer than an hour and a half.

For those new to this email thread, we are interested in identifying specific areas in IMP where efficiency and functionality can be significantly improved with a moderate amount of effort and task these projects to individuals or small groups.  Some issues we discussed at the retreat are:

* Scoring efficiency - Make IncrementalScoringFunction work with current restraints (EM, EV)
* Parallelization of individual replicas
* Parallelizing propagation of moves within coarse grained representation of rigid bodies.
* Identification of GPU-friendly computations

The purpose of this meeting and subsequent ones will be to discuss the root causes of these issues, discuss general strategies for solving them, document them/improve the documentation in github issues and assign people to work on them outside of the meeting.

Cheers,
-Daniel

        I think it's great if we can get all IMP developers including in
        Europe and Asia on board, at least for the first meeting. IMP
        development could benefit a lot from collaboration among the
        various IMP labs, and this could also support future
        collaboration among IMP labs.

        The timezone is an issue - my recollection is that we have
        developers in Spain (+8 hours), France (+9 hours), Israel (+10
        hours), possibly in Germany (+9 hours - Jan Kosinski at EMBL,
        Heidelberg may be interested). If I didn't forget anyone (Ben?)
        - a morning meeting here (say 10 or 11 am) could allow them to
        join in the European/ME evening.

                We had a good discussion at the retreat about how
                improving the reliability and efficiency in IMP is
                critical for our current and future goals in structural
                modeling. To do this, we proposed a periodic meeting to
                discuss problems/inefficiencies in IMP, identify the
                root causes and collectively design the best ways to fix
                them.


            The best place for such discussion is the existing IMP
            developers' mailing list (cc'd):
            https://salilab.org/mailman/listinfo/imp-dev
            <https://salilab.org/mailman/listinfo/imp-dev>

            There are several people outside of the lab who are IMP
            developers and so may be interested in joining these
            meetings. They're not on the lab mailing list but are (or
            can be) on imp-dev.

                I suggest we have our first meeting next week...say
                Thursday 2PM? (or Ben, whatever day you plan to be in).
                We can decide on a recurring time then.


            If you want to have physical meetings as well, that's fine,
            although Fridays are better for me. 2pm's probably not a
            great time if anybody from Europe or Asia will be joining
            though.
