Administrivia
=============

  Jeff Brown requested that Steven Lee be added to the `pooma-admin'
  list.  That has been done.

  In future, we need to make sure that John Hall and Jean Marshall are
  aware of the telecons.  Mark Mitchell will take care of that.

  Jeff Brown is working on security clearances.  There is some
  information that LANL will require about CodeSourcery.  Jeff will
  figure out what information is needed, and contact Mark.

  Scott Haney reported that no externally visible progress has made with
  respect to getting LANL accounts for Proximation people.  Jeff
  requested the names of the people who need email accounts at the lab.
  They are:

    Jim Crotinger
    Mike de Long
    Scott Haney
    Steven Smith

  Mark mentioned that he is planning on visiting LANL in early June.
  Rod Oldehoeft is in the process of setting up meetings to discuss the
  various projects on which CodeSourcery is working with LANL.  Jeffrey
  Oldham will accompany Mark on this trip, in order to discuss technical
  issues with the Proximation folks.

Last Month
==========

  Scott summarized last month's progress:

    - Everyone has gotten set up and is working productively.

    - Scott, Jim, and Steve have thought a lot about the new 
      Field abstraction.

    - Jeffrey has implemented the hydrodynamics kernel suggested
      by Jean and Don.

    - Jeffrey and Scott examined the ways in which this kernel 
      is similar to a computation described by Chevron.  Jean
      confirmed that these similarities occur in many fluid
      calculations.  Jeffrey and Scott are working on ways to 
      directly support these abstractions in POOMA.

    - Several important bugs have been fixed at the request of
      the Blanca team.
