Present Project Phase

The work to build the UM is now on master: Basic UM config

Work is now progressing on to LFRic. Good work is being made through the various more elaborate build steps required.

Review capacity to keep work flowing on to master has been an issue, although presently less critical. Following discussion, it is proposed that Dave & Byron are added as reviewers such that they can conduct one of the two reviews for each Pull Request. We will have to keep an eye on conflict of interest .

Richard Yorke from the data workflows team will be looking to set up one of the JULES rose stem builds to use Fab. This will be a useful technical and user experience test.
