Minutes

IU: Mihajlo Kornicer, Ryan Mitchell, Matt Shepherd, Claire ???
JLab: Craig Bookwalter, Mark Ito (chair), David Lawrence, Yi Qiang, Sascha Somov, Simon Taylor, Elliott Wolin, Beni Zihlmann

Announcements

  • New src release, release-2010-03-10: Mark asked if anyone has had problems. None were reported.
  • New JANA release, version 0.6.1: David told that some changes in this release were prompted by Elliott's work on the DANA-to-EVIO conversion packages. JANADOT (gives times spent in factories) has improved significicantly as well. Mark suggested some documentation on how to generate the JANADOT report. Elliott suggested a new release so he can access pre-built versions using this version.
  • src -> sim-recon transition made: Mark noted that the change has been made. No problems were reported by the assembled. Beni has been working on updating documentation.
  • BMS change: binaries depend on libraries: Mark mentioned the recent change made to the binary making makefile (Makefile.bin). Now binaries should automatically be remade when libraries, upon which they depend, have changed. The should largely remove the need for invoking make with the "relink" target.
  • Partial wave analysis, initial contacts: Craig has been in contact with Matt and Curtis on this. Discussions are on-going. Matt and Craig agreed to get together to get Craig going with the IU PWA code.

Review of minutes from the last meeting

We went over them. Elliott volunteered to check-out and run Dave Heddle's GlueX event display. He also mentioned that a summer student may be working on this.

Versioning of Calibration Constants

Mark reviewed the interim scheme that has been implemented. Elliott made a suggestion involving a service-oriented architecture. Details were not clear to the secretary. Elliott will provide a description of his proposal to be edited directly into these minutes.

FCAL clustering

See Mihajlo's slides for details.

Matt reminded us that BCAL clustering taken over from KLOE code. We do not have a GlueX "owner" for this code. A GlueX Note does exist on this subject.

documentation Beni: documentation can be put into code Matt: not should include external parameters, tunable parameters

New Action Items

  1. Document on JANADOT -> David
  2. "RedHat 5.3" link to "CentOS" for JLab builds -> Mark
  3. Check-out and run ded. -> Elliott
  4. Provide description of SOA for calibration constant versioning for the minutes. -> Elliott
  5. Find an "owner" for the BCAL reconstruction code -> Mark, Matt
