from Heather:
GR HEAD 1.964, testGleam terminates oddly with an
exception in OBF. From poking around in Visual Studio, she has the impression
that
(
There was a problem in the astro package;
There was a chat with Riccardo on Thursday (see:
https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/SAS/Meeting+August%2C+2007 ).
Riccardo's plan is to tag the HEAD of MRStudio after completing some updates requested by
Joanne. This next version of MRStudio will be a beta version released to developers for
testing. Riccardo
will then complete updates of MRStudio using CMT
including support for VS 2005, then freeze it and move to SCONS world.
Richard reports to Heather that we'll get all the hardware we requested, partly
from an over-purchase by BaBar! We need to start thinking about interleave
and event collections. [Haven't we been all along?]

Navid:
SCONS -- Overwriting of packages is a work-in-progress.
Currently, after compilation, the files are assembled and a(n)
SCONS script is made(?); the next step is to add an option allowing the user to
over-write the files.
The interview with the potential hire at Goddard went well. They are expecting
to make an offer, pending reference checks.

David:
Event Collections -- He'll be sending an email summarizing progress. A big step
forward is sorting out the semantics. The old "event collection" or
"meta root data" should be called something like "CompositeEventList," to correspond to ROOT usage.
With the new system, the skimmer could generate an event list, rather than
assemble the actual file of events.
