We have a new communication channel. There is now a dedicated chat room on matrix.org for all topics related to DUNE. You can join the room via this link, or get somebody to invite you.

Matrix is an open federated protocol for real-time communication. Many institutions provide their staff with a matrix identity nowadays. If your institution is not on the list, ask them for a matrix homeserver. While you wait, you can get free accounts from (e.g.) matrix.org.

DUNE@Enumath

This years Enumath conference (European Conference on Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications) took place in Lison, Portugal.

Many interesting presentations involved simulations performed with DUNE. Furthermore we took the chance to meet and discuss in person with several DUNE developers and users from all over Europe.

We are organizing the 7th DUNE user meeting at the Technical University Dresden September 18-19, 2023. Directly afterwards the developer meeting will take place September 19-20, 2023.

This meeting offers a chance to showcase how you are using Dune, foster collaborations between the users and provide input to the future development of Dune. The meeting also welcomes contributions from other frameworks such as DuMuX, AMDiS and OPM that are using Dune.

To help the organizers please choose to register soon on the user meeting page and the developer meeting page. You will also find more information about the meetings there.

Please note that the official registration deadline is August 19, 2023.

Dune modules can now be installed via pip using the Python package index (PyPI). The module and the modules it depends on are downloaded, build, and installed either into the system or into a python virtual environment (the latter might be of more interest as it is an option to install Dune without root privileges). This could also be of interest for C++ users of Dune as Python bindings are not mandatory. Scripts like dunecontrol can be used the same way as with a system installation so that installed and source modules can easily be used together. More details on how to add this installation option to existing Dune modules is available here. Details will be added to the Documentation shortly.

We are going to organize a user meeting in Stuttgart, at the conference hotel campus.guest at the Vaihingen campus of the University of Stuttgart. The Dune User Meeting will start on the 5th of November and will continue on the 6th. The Dune developer meeting will be held at the same venue right after the user meeting ending on the 8th.

Details are available on the workshop webpage.
