+------------
+
+1) Confirm quorum
+
+Quorum is present.
+
+2) Secretary
+
+Secretary is Andre Pradhana.
+
+3) Half support
+Andre and Greg will meet to discuss what needs to be implemented for Autodesk
+purposes. As for the implementation, we may need to promote the Half type to a
+float type when doing arithmetic.
+
+4) Post mortem VDB 11 release
+We ended up meeting the VFX reference platform deadline. Ken sent out an
+announcement on the email list that 11.0.0 is out there. We still need to fix
+weekly builds on the CI.
+
+5) Dilation at leaf level for NanoVDB
+Cuda’s points-to-voxel grid can copy 26 points. It will be nice to have a
+dedicated tool to dilate at the leaf level. Andre will touch base with Alexandre
+to follow up on this effort.
+
+6) PR-1678
+This is no longer needed as the CMake module is no longer there.
+
+7) Update documentation
+We need to update the installation which is currently openexr 2.x to OpenEXR 3.x.
+
+8) CMake config file
+It will be good to have a nice OpenVDB CMake config file.
+
+9) Using VDB SOPs inside of DOPs
+It’s supposed to work with zero-copy.
+
+10) Annual update on TAC
+There is an annual project update for the TSC on November 29, 2023, which may
+require some material.
+
+11) Next meeting
+Next meeting is November 14, 2023.
