Review of minutes from the last meeting

We went over the minutes from November 15. HDvis now runs on the workstations in the Counting Room. Thomas and David had to re-install some drivers to make that work on all nodes.

Review of recent pull requests

We went over the recent pull requests, some discussion, no significant comments.

Review of recent discussion on the GlueX Software Help List

We went over the discussion threads. Mark noted that Mahmoud's problem with a local build of sim-recon-2.20.0 can be fixed by installing the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) and re-configuring and re-building ROOT. The need for GSL was mentioned at the previous meeting.
