# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (September 2, 2016)

* A link was shared about Roger Tsien's legacy in biology, specifically highlighting his work with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which revolutionized biological imaging by allowing researchers to visualize cellular processes (http://www.nature.com/news/roger-tsien-s-legacy-the-creations-that-lit-up-biology-1.20532).

* A mathematical chemistry paper was shared discussing graph theory applications (http://match.pmf.kg.ac.rs/electronic_versions/Match72/n2/match72n2_475-488.pdf).

* There was a brief discussion about rocket launches, with comments about payload preparation requirements in humidity-controlled environments and the value of test fires for engineering feedback on non-catastrophic failure modes.

* A discussion about open-source CAD development emerged, specifically regarding a collaborative effort to create a fully-editable FreeCAD file for an open-source Compressed Earth Block (CEB) Press, with the goal of demonstrating rapid collaborative design workflows.

* Wikifab.org was mentioned as a resource for open hardware documentation and collaboration.

* A conversation about ImplicitCAD noted its lack of GUI interface, with one user expressing that while programmatic CAD has advantages, the ability to visually select and manipulate objects is sometimes more efficient.
