CLAS12 Workshop

David, Mark and Elliott attended the CLAS12 software workshop, and Dave and Elliott gave presentations (Dave-JANA, Elliott-Code sharing and EVIO). There were outside speakers from BNL and FNAL. Chip and Graham also gave talks. The rest were by Hall B members. It went well, perhaps not enough time for discussions. Hall D now plans to hold a similar workshop late this Fall, more focused on parallel and distributed event and MC processing, that should be of interest to all halls.

Event Display

CNU student Andrew Blackburn started working a week or so on the Hall D event display using Dave Heddle's bCNU framework. The plan is to first implement the functionality in the ROOT0based event display using bCNU, then go beyond it. He is working under Elliott's direction, with help from David L and Dave Heddle.

RootSpy

CNU student Justin Barry started working a few days ago. He will improve and extend the functionality of RootSpy under David L's direction.

Mantis Issue Tracker

The Hall D offline is at the verge of starting to use the Mantis bug or issue tracking system. It is a standard PHP-based open-source package in use in many places. Issues can be reported, then work on the issue can be tracked, assigned, commented upon, and eventually resolved. It immediately will replace the Wiki to-do list, which is no longer useful. Although called a "bug tracker", it really is a generic issue tracking system.

Mantis supports multiple "projects." Two initial projects will the Hall D Offline and Online.
