Dear NEST Users & Developers! I would like to invite you to our next fortnightly Open NEST Developer Video Conference today *Monday January 29, at 11:30 CET (UTC+0100).* As usual, in the Project team round, a contact person of each team will give a short statement summarizing ongoing and planned work in the team and highlight cross-cutting points that need discussion among the teams. The remainder of the meeting we would go into a bunch of topics that came up and that were suggested by the teams. Feel free to join the meeting also if it’s just to bring your own quick questions for direct discussion in the in-depth section. Agenda * Welcome * Review of NEST User Mailing List * Project team round * In-depth discussion o Changed Model registration for NEST Models (from last meeting) o Proposed new model with an approximation for nonlinear NMDA receptors (#2979 <https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/pull/2979>) o Proposed multi-state models (#3069 <https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/pull/3069>) o Report from LASCON IX The agenda for this meeting is also available online, see https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/wiki/2024-01-29-Open-NEST-Developer-… <https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/wiki/2024-01-29-Open-NEST-Developer-Video-Conference> Looking forward to seeing you soon!
