Review of minutes from the last meeting
We looked at the [[???|minutes from the last meeting]. Elliott remarked that in the translation tables there was no need to identify the pre-amps for the tracking chambers as separate entities.
Status of the CCDB release
Dimitry is finishing the conversion from existing Subversion-controlled calibration constant files to the CCDB
- built JANA, put in classes to read CCDB
- getting ready to test
- should be done in the next few days
- CCDB has been checked into the 12 GeV Physics repository
Elliott commented that some progress on the conditions part of the CCDB would be useful.
Update on non-deterministic event reconstruction
David has found and fixed a problem, first reported by Will, where repeated reconstruction of the same events with the same binary reproduced different results. See [??? David's message] for details of the fix.
Paul [??? reported a different bug] and checked in a fix. This was giving different figure-of-merit values for repeated executions at the 1% level. See his message for details.
