Present:    Joanne Bogart, Anders Borgland, Toby Burnett, David Chamont, James Chiang, Johann Cohen-Tanugi, Seth Digel, Richard Dubois, Warren Focke, Berrie Giebels, Navid Golpayegani, Tony Johnson, Heather Kelly, Michael Kuss, Matt Langston, Chuck Patterson, James Peachey, Leon Rochester, Tony Johnson, Tracy Usher

• Data Handling: (Tony)
  • Pipeline Matt's front end is ready for testing on foreign datasets; Dan is working on the backend.
  • Data server They're doing tests to compare Oracle 10G and MySQL 5.
• GlastRelease: (Toby) Current HEAD is almost up to date; could be ready for a tag. (Richard) There is a serious problem with CAL. See these histograms, in particular the second one down on the right. Not clear why there are four peaks when there should be one, and which one (if any) is correct. He and Zach have been pondering since Saturday. [Subsequently, Berrie made this plot of true MC energy (Y) versus reconstructed energy (X), which shows that most channels are being reconstructed properly.] What does I&T want to do, given that this release has a serious problem? (Anders) Let's wait a few more days to see if someone figures this one out.
• CAL:(Richard) Tracy is helping Frederic Piron refurbish their mip finding code as a CAL tool.  HE is also implementing the cluster-hits relational table.
• RM: (Navid) He has made some progress with compile stage (check out was already working as of last week), but is not done. Bare CMT doesn't create the right kind of build files. MRcmt doesn't quite do things the way RM needs them to be done. (Toby) Could push for improvements to CMT, but it is pretty difficult to work with. Consider using Python. (Joanne) MRcmt as originally created (and as it still is) was meant as a proof in principle, not the end product. Riccardo might be able to make suitable enhancements once he understands what's required. (Toby) Meanwhile Science Tools has, for the time being, abandoned Windows compatibility. (Jim) He is still making builds on the UW Terminal Server, but parts of the code are failing to build. Responsible parties have been informed. (James)..promises to fix the parts belonging to him.
• EM tags: (Heather) Latest is v4r060208p2. Need Sys Tests for it.
• Tools: (Richard) Have ordered a couple licences for AQtime, the Windows profiler that was so helpful in tracking down time-wasting code.

• Personnel: (Richard) We have made our offer to Mr. Pavlin. [As of this afternoon, he accepted.  Welcome, Igor!]
