Telecon: 2022 12 14

We are ready for 0.9.0 release:
- Great Amalgamation Progress -- Done!
  - Expressions + RAJA PR is in
  - Dir org refactor is done
- Devil Ray Low Order work is in (not leverged yet in Ascent)
- Basic caliper support is in (we haven't annotated parts of Ascent yet)
- Babelflow branch merged with new features, babelflow re-enabled in CI testing
VisIt will use VTK-m directly instead of VTK-h, so Ascent doesn't need to support VTK-h use in VisIt.

Discussion Topics:

Nicole discovered a crash related to saving Meta data
Victor @ ANL reported a crash related to compositing -- Cyrus has a dataset from Victor
Nicole has been working on Auto Slicing (provide a normal + # levels, and it hunts for the slice for the highest entropy)
Nicole is working on getting a very large sim extract from WarpX
VTK-m first 2.0RC is being released week. Major release will have big changes (removed APIs and rework of CMake targets, etc)
