=== Announcements ===
 
 
# [https://mailman.jlab.org/pipermail/halld-offline/2020-March/003967.html new versions sets: version_4.17.0.xml and three recon launch sets]. Mainly update releases.
 
# [https://mailman.jlab.org/pipermail/halld-offline/2020-March/003961.html Possible fix to stalled projects]. Thomas has relaunched some previously stalled projects. Most of them have moved to completion except for three. These require a pre-fix version set.
 
# [https://mailman.jlab.org/pipermail/halld-offline/2020-March/003964.html current best-practice for CCDB access from farm jobs]. Besides the procedure described in his email, Mark reported on yet another method used with success by Karthik. He had a private CCDB SQLite file that he wanted to use for farm jobs. The technique which worked was to store the SQLite file on volatile or cache and copy it to the local farm node for each job. Another future option is a compact SQLite database without full run number coverage that Mark has been working on.
 
 
=== Review of Minutes from the Last Software Meeting ===
 
 
We went over [[GlueX Software Meeting, March 17, 2020#Minutes|the minutes from March 17]].
 
 
==== CCDB 2.0 ====
 
 
Mark has succeeded with an automated build of CCDB 2.0 in Build Scripts, including all of the GlueX packages. He needs to get an example database from Dmitry Romanov to test the build.
 
 
==== Corrupt EVIO Files ====
 
 
Richard generated two pull requests to address this problem. See [https://github.com/JeffersonLab/halld_recon/pull/338 Pull Request #338] and [https://github.com/JeffersonLab/halld_recon/pull/339 Pull Request #339]. Mark will make sure that there is a patch release with both of these changes and test the changes. David will do a QA review.
 
 
=== Review of Minutes from the Last HDGeant4 Meeting ===
 
 
We went over [[HDGeant4_Meeting,_March_24,_2020#Minutes|the minutes from March 24]] without comment.
 
 
=== Review of recent issues and pull requests and review of recent discussion on the GlueX Software Help List ===
 
 
Not a lot of comment on these items either.
