Present: Heather, Ian, Richard, Thomas, Toby, Traudl
See http://www-sldnt.slac.stanford.edu/glast/meetings/core_status20001115.htm which covers the progress part of the discussion.
Heather will rename the MC classes to reflect their IRF origin today
whither Gaudi 6?
Traudl will look at it shortly, but thinks we should migrate to it next week. Heather points out that the LHCb folks tell her the persistency mechanism (macros that generate Root versions of the TDS) isn't stable yet
Ian is close to having CsIData ready to go as input to CAL Recon as a Gaudi algorithm.
tb_recon/RootWriter
Heather sees a problem with RW on Linux. She'll fix it pronto. Sacha reports his installation of tb_recon crashes on run 213. Heather will check that too.
once these are out of the way, she will tag both tb_recon and RootWriter.
ROOTSYS definition in EXTLIB
we agreed to provide 'appropriate' tarballs on a GLAST ftp server of all the approved versions of external libraries - including Root. Hence we would by default ask users to install the Root tarball (obtained from GLAST, not CERN) in the EXTLIB-specified location. And provide instructions on how to override that location for those who need to have it elsewhere or who are trying out different versions.
See http://www-sldnt.slac.stanford.edu/glast/Software/Core/TempStuff/BalloonSupportPossibilities.pdf for a discussion on the support.
Ian will extract TKR recon as a backup position to Tracy/Leon rewriting/repackaging Jose's code (now due in January). This will give us GlastSim functionality in the Gaudi framework.
Traudl will poke around CERN asking about GEANT4 NT support. Norman Graf (for LCD) has a Visual Studio project now that will take pre-built G4 libraries and allow creation of an application. He has not solved the graphics problem (how to replace X on NT). Maybe Traudl and Toby can help out there in trade for the project files!
Heather tells us Dave Thompson is interested in trigger code. That has been extracted from the 'new' GlastSim. Toby thinks it will be easy to put back, operating from the digi classes.
The hits/digi classes are under active development, starting with CAL. Traudl will get in touch with the TKR group (Tracy, Leon, Eduardo, Wilko?) to discuss the TKR needs. The ACD should be simple and Traudl will talk to Heather about it.
Eric Grove has several proposals (link to Stanford protected mailing list) in to the current working model. These are to store hits for all volumes (and pixelate them), have a single hits class that describes all volumes, and capture/record all energy deposited in the event. We are evaluating the impact of these proposals and should have a response shortly.
