Action items

1. ALL: triage the open issues and confirm if they are indeed still open (and perhaps provide labels)
2. DH: pull out list of people who have filled in survey. We can then decide if we want to chase some.
3. SV: update known list of firedrake citing papers that actually use firedrake. Already known papers live here: https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/blob/master/docs/source/_static/firedrake-apps.bib PR open here
4. KY: Write up maths of what Filtered is supposed to do, what it enables, and why it is needed.
5. KY, (DH, LM): Document describing what we think the mixed domain interface should look like (and hence what is needed in UFL, and whether it matches the existing fenics efforts).
6. LM: write up some of the issues (parallel GC) and where to start looking.
7. JB: Add brief note to docs on disabling GC in parallel.
