Present: Heather, Ian, Joanne, Leon, Masanobu, Pat, Richard, Thomas, Toby
Toby reported on several projects. See http://www-sldnt.slac.stanford.edu/glast/meetings/core_status20001026.htm for details.
Gaudi: Events in the transient data store now have appropriate structure. (Heather). Ian and Heather have written new MC hit classes and IRF converters.
gismo-based simulation: Toby has written a new version of the application package suitable for use in glastsim and tbsim which removes reconstruction-related code.
tb_recon: The earlier gambit of making tb_ versions of several packages has been abandoned. Instead the tb_recon program is a single package. Ultimately this should evolve into algorithm packages suitable for incorporation in the gaudi framework.
ROOTWriter: Thomas is nearly ready to release this tbsim-to-ROOT conversion program. There is still one loose end: getting rootcint to run during the build process.
Joanne reported that a first pass has been done on almost all the relevant code; parts of the application package are all that remains. Toby's streamlining changes (see 2. above) are also incorporated.
Meanwhile Thomas has installed the Xerces parser in GLAST afs space at SLAC for both Linux and Solaris, so as soon as the new code has been debugged on NT it can be built and tested on the other platforms.
This is an interface layer to the histograming package used by Gaudi. We need converters to and from ROOT.
There was some (inconclusive) discussion on how and when Doxygen should be run to generate package documentation, and how to get links between the correct versions of different packages.
We ought to be working on a joint documentation scheme with Flight Software.
Richard would like everyone to look at and comment on http://www-sldnt.slac.stanford.edu/glast/meetings/core_status20001026.htm, an exported .gif file of the state (as of 10/24) of the Offline MS Project. In addition to making explicit overall scheduling and resource issues, the Project could be used as a tool to evaluate the impact of support for the balloon flight. In future everyone should have direct web access to the project itself.
