Announcements
CCDB 0.5
Mark called our attention to a recent [??? announcement from Dmitry and him] on the latest release of the calibration database. The code is built on three platforms at JLab and there are instructions on how to use it with Jana in the file ccdb_0.05/janaccdb/READNE.txt.
Major changes on JLab batch farm
Mark went over the [??? recent announcement from Scientific Computing] at JLab on changes to the batch farm going in today and possibly tomorrow. There are many fundamental differences being rolled out in Auger and Jasmine so users should be on the lookout for anomalous behavior and report any seen. You will have to have a new scientific computing certificate to use the farm.
Scientific Software Support Committee
Mark told us about a new committee that will oversee support for scientific software packages at the Lab. Chip Watson proposed the existence of the committee and the first meeting was held last week. The committee will be joint between Physics and IT. Graham Heyes will act as chair. The initial initiative will be to integrate ROOT, CERNLIB, Geant4, etc. into the normal support structure of IT Division, mainly helpdesk service and documentation. The actual support of the packages will remain with the current responsible individuals for now. though that may change going forward. In the future the committee may help decide which packages should be officially support by IT.
