Present: DS, JB, DH, CW, RNH, FA, RK, NB

Apologies:

JB: Firedrake manual

Branch got merged to master. Need to pick a release date.

-> JB: Add instructions explaining how to build manual

KS: Fix checkpointing error with pickling elements

-> KS: Use Firedrake's UFL fork and not Fenics' one because of the PR that accidentally got merged in Firedrake UFL instead of upstream

DRS: PasTiX / Fortran

Check for existing open issues

-> DS: Check if Fortran can be built with PasTix, if not that might be an issue on PETSc land.
