# Key Points from #hplusroadmap IRC Log

• Fenn successfully implemented interface alignment for SKDB, enabling virtual LEGO bricks to snap together in 3D space by solving coordinate transformation and rotation challenges.

• Kanzure developed volume interference detection for SKDB's geometry module, implementing an n-squared collision checker while cleaning up the codebase by removing deprecated PyMates demo code.

• The team improved SKDB's code organization by separating geometry and GUI code from paths.py into appropriate modules and removing deprecated code to enhance project structure.

• Participants discussed biological sample storage standards in labs, noting specific temperatures (4°C, -20°C, -80°C) for different sample types, with -80°C being optimal for long-term storage of reagents, RNA, DNA, and tissue samples.

• The Solar Impulse project was highlighted as an ambitious effort to create a solar-powered airplane capable of autonomous global flight without fuel or pollution.

• BioPython was discussed as a tool for primer design, with specific mention of using Entrez to programmatically search and fetch nucleotide sequences for genetic engineering applications.

• Kanzure integrated optfunc, a Python library that simplifies command line parsing through function introspection, into the SKDB client.
