Ben has been very helpful in improving the tipsy frontend and providing documentation optimized for people used to thinking about SPH data. He's also a valuable source of information about how to handle SPH data in general.

support for the pluto code in yt
by Antoine Strugarek Sept. 3, 2014

Sept. 3, 2014

Hi yt-developers, I was originally interested in developing a frontend for the pluto code (http://plutocode.ph.unito.it/) since I am a regular user of this code, and I saw that many things for pluto were already there in yt but the pluto fronted was not activated in the frontends/api.py file (the line with ‘pluto’ is commented out). Do you know if in a more recent version of yt this has been finished up, or if it still in the process of being implemented? Thanks in advance, Antoine

yt @ OLCF
by Michael Zingale Sept. 3, 2014

Sept. 3, 2014

I've heard from the OLCF that yt is installed on titan now. The installation was done by Fernanda Foertter (foertterfs(a)ornl.gov). She is happy to hear about issues, and relayed that a known issue is that the LaTeX portion of the dependencies is broken. I haven't gotten on and tried it yet.

governance
by Matthew Turk Sept. 2, 2014

Sept. 2, 2014

Hey all, I just wanted to thank Britton for all his hard work on the issue of governance of the project. I think it's one of the key issues that guides a project, and I think we are going to be all the better for it. In addition, seems like it's pretty thankless -- and so I think it's appropriate to thank him for this hard work. -Matt

New issue 891: Allow load_amr_grids to take custom refinement factor https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/891/allow-load_amr_grids-to-take… astrofrog: At the moment, ``load_amr_grids`` hard-codes a refinement factor of 2.

let's talk about Governance
by Britton Smith Sept. 1, 2014

Sept. 1, 2014

Greeting yt developers, First, I want to congratulate everyone here on the successful release of yt-3.0. This was a massive effort on the part of so many and a true testament to the strength of this team. At the time of writing this, there are 78 members of the yt-dev mailing list. As someone who does most of their work in very small collaborations, this amazes me and make me very proud. In case you're wondering, the yt-users list has 268 members. As a project, yt has a significant amount … [View More]
