Some fragmentary notes from today:

@breckbaldwin : CZI proposal nearly done, resloved licenseing around multiple contributions to source code with NumFOCUS lawyer. Will post to discourse.

@rok_cesnovar : prepping for the release (checking open projects, preparing release notes, RC blurbs, etc.), reviewing Steve’s varmat branch, miscelaneous minor things

@martinmodrak:

  • Some prep work on practical uses of SBC for model development/debugging with @hyunji.moon 's SBC package.
  • Asked if we don’t want to have a separate jacobian += statement (optimization turns off Jacobian), but also for documenting. I promised to follow-up on Discourse se here’s the thread: Allow users to declare terms as Jacobian
