Announcements
- New release Mark put together a ???new release, announced yesterday.
- Contact with Dmitri David and Mark have been in email contact with Dmitri Romanov about prospective work on a calibration database.
- Writing out tracking results David let us through his recently published HOWTO save tracking results to an HDDM or EVIO file for later playback.
- David agreed to give us a tutorial on the use of plugins in the JANA framework at a future meeting.
- Elliott told us that we will likely get another CNU student to work on software this summer via Yelena Prok. He and David are discussing appropriate projects, but ROOTSpy is a strong candidate.
- Elliott informed us that Gagik Gavalian, working in Hall B is interested in using hdf5 as a data format for archiving analysis results (including calibration constants). Craig has had some experience with it, using it for a home-brew ntuple format.
Review of minutes from the last meeting
