Firedrake User Meeting 16-18 September 2024 Firedrake (Registration 25th August/Abstracts 18th August)

Present: CW (minuter), DH, DD, KS, IM, NB

Apologies: JB, PB

CW: This has been found to be a bug in pytest-coverage. It will get fixed in Python 3.12.4.
DH: That patch will take some time to make it into LTS Ubuntu. We should fix to 3.11 on the runners until that happens. If we do that then we can merge these changes as soon as numpy 2.0 is released.

Reviewed several. More progress will be made at next week's FEniCS conference.

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

JB: #3604 Incorperate TinyASM into Firedrake. Josh has picked this over once.

Licensing issues.
DD: #3579 (Firedrake) L2 Riesz maps as default for adjoint-based gradients.

Set to automerge.
DD: #149 (Pyadjoint) Adapting tests for L2 Riesz maps as default.

Approved and merged. Will fail tests until a container with #3579 is built.
PB: FIAT

Merged.
PB: UFL

Needs merging into upstream, not our fork.
