Present:    Joanne Bogart, David Chamont, Richard Dubois, Dan Flath, Warren Focke, Berrie Giebels, Tom Glanzman, Navid Golpayegani, Heather Kelly, Bryson Lee, Chuck Patterson, Leon Rochester Tom Stephens, Tracy Usher

• Data server back-end: (David) Right now all 3 interfaces (for Pruner, Peeler and new Skimmer) are supported in order to avoid disruption for the web front-end; however he would like to eliminate the now-redundant Pruner and Peeler as soon as possible; the work to add additional functionality will go more quickly if it only has to be added once. This can't happen until the web front-end starts using the Skimmer.

  (Richard) What's involved in the automated regression testing? (David) Pruner- and Peeler-like jobs involving various kinds of data are run. However, all the jobs are small. Additional testing is needed to uncover scaling problems.

  See his report for the complete wish list and status.
• OS porting: (Navid) He has been testing building GlastRelease and ScienceTools on a variety of platform/OS combinations. Results are summarized in a table. For RHEL4 (32 bit) and Mac OSX all that's missing is LSF (SLAC batch system) support.  Gossip at the meeting suggested that there may be some batch machines with RHEL4 (64 bit) installed.
