The meeting started at 14:05.
Olexandr informed us that GAP v4.8.8 is available. It was finished 10 days ago, but has been published today - a Windows installer needed to be prepared, and tests needed to be validated, and a GAP release checklist was being composed; it still contains Semigroups 2.8.0, but the next major GAP release should contain version 3.0 when it is released. The release checklist is available here: https://github.com/gap-system/gap-distribution/wiki/Release-checklist
Markus and Olexandr recently ran a GAP training course using the Software Carpentry lesson, which is available for use and contributions: https://github.com/carpentries-incubator/gap-lesson/
The Postgraduate Group Theory Conference (PGTC) will be held in St Andrews in 2018, and will include a GAP tutorial. This year's PGTC was in Cambridge, and the website is here: http://swcl2.user.srcf.net/pgtc/
GAP Days Fall 2017 is being held in Siegen right now, until 8th September. Wilf is going to attend the code sprint next week.
The long-awaited GAP 4.9 release should be released this year, with a hopeful beta version in September.
James Mitchell arrived at around 14:20. Olexandr left at around 14:35, and Fernando passed him in the doorway as he arrived.
