- Bug/issue tracking software: Elliott
- Effect of a more uniform field; raised by Eugene at GlueX meeting
- Action Item Review: all
Minutes

Announcements
- Can we make binaries-in-path a requirement? Yes. See [??? Mark's email message]. This issue was raised by the desire to remove a hard-wired path reference in the makefile for sim-recon/libraries/HDDM.
- Modifications to coding conventions done. Mark added the policy on warning-free code the policy on random stuff being restricted to the "mcsmear" step in Monte-Carlo generation. The wiki page needs to be cleaned up. No volunteers where found.
- Automate links from CentOS5 to RHEL5-64-bit. Mark wrote [??? a script] to do this semi-automatically.
- analysis being run in a cron job. Mark has David's script running weekly. It runs on all three platforms presently.
- David mentioned that the next step would be to create histograms. Right now a root tree is produced but the only information available is that the reconstruction ran to completion. He has a script that will produce histograms and mail out the results. He and Mark will create an example that runs on the cron job output.
- HOWTO do a kinematic fit for etapi0p events. We collectively took a glance at Blake Leverington's recent HOWTO. See [??? his email] for a synopsis.
- BMS document linked from software wiki page. David pointed Mark to the appropriate [??? GlueX Doc] and it is now linked from the Offline Software wiki page. There are parts of this that need revision. No volunteers were found.
- HOWTO use a pre-built release. This HOWTO was [??? announced last week] on the email list. It describes our "standard procedure" for using a release of sim-recon that someone else has built.
- Release method for DAQ Group software is broken. Elliott told us that there are aspects of the current release method that cannot possibly work. This issue will be raised at the online meeting at some point.
Review of minutes from the last meeting
We reviewed the minutes from the ??? meeting.
- ROOTSpy. The student from CNU that was slotted to work on ROOTSpy has reported for work, although Mark opined that this was an announcement more appropriate for the Online Meeting.
- Setting up the GlueX software environment. We reached a consensus that Mark should decide on what to recommend to the Collaboration as a best practice.
- Progress toward constructing our own matrix classes. Since the last meeting Simon presented progress on this project at the Physics Meeting. He sees very nice improvement in execution times for the Kalman fitter.
- Hardware/Connection tracking database. Mark suggested that this issue should probably be taken up at the Online Meetings.
News from IU
As reported by Matt Shepherd:
- Dan Bennett is making nice progress on the BCAL work. The first goal is move the "MCResponse" to the mcsmear application and also handle summing electronics channels that is presently in the design. That effort is somewhat complicated since it breaks the nice 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 (ends) mapping from GEANT to reconstruction. We are handling this by renaming all objections in the data model: sipmCell, sipmLayer, sipmSector, and fadcCell, fadcLayer, fadcSector. This will undoubtedly take some refining, I'm sure you'll be hearing updates from us in future meetings.
- On the amplitude analysis side of things, Matt Shepherd has a set of amplitudes from Adam Szczepaniak to do mock analysis on pi_1 -> rho pi channel. Matt hopes to have an example in place by the end of the week.
