• Tim has submitted the proceedings to the ISVHECRI: https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.14240
• Alexander will prepare the proceedings for the ECRS (deadline end of October)
• Frank Polgart is doing regular maintenance of our GitLab server now (security updates!)
• Juan found that the longitudinal profile writer produces problems for inclined showers crossing media (upstream versus downstream particles); in principle, the concept breaks down, might not even be useful any more
• Caterina will look into making C8 work for very inclined showers (downgoing/skimming/upgoing)
  • good first step is to make an example application
  • Max pointed out that the conversion from grammage to distance with the sliding planar atmosphere could start producing problems, several potential solutions
    • brute force numerical integration (slow but universal and accurate)
    • Taylor expansion (Max has info on that, also look into CONEX)
    • 2d tabulation (implemented by Tim in C7/CoREAS for refractivity integration)
• Tanguy was in contact with some people interested to interface HEP-MC to C8, Felix and Tanguy will coordinate with them
• Alexander mentions that there is a new PROPOSAL release, there is a pull request, will be discussed at the technical call next week Thursday (Sep 8th at 17:00 CEST)
