Minutes:

Attendees: David L.(chair), Carl T., Nathan B., Thomas B., Vardan G., Graham H.

EVIO-6

• No testing yet of reading older EVIO formats with new C++ code
  • last main task before full testing of new EVIO-6 code
• Some Doxygen documentation present
  • Needs C++ User's Guide

JANA2

• Continuing port of GlueX code
  • Translation Table and EVIO Event source mostly complete (two of the hardest parts)

MCWrapper + OSG

• Looking to port all scripts to python3
• Dependency discovered on hddm_s (GlueX simulated data file format)
  • used to count number of events in HDDM file
  • currently integrated using python API, but should eventually move to using external process so it can be generalized and break the dependency
• MCWrapper needs to be made more deployable at remote sites (e.g. Sean Dobbs at FSU)
  • config. file will be needed
• New issues with submitting to OSG regularly come. Must be dealt with as they occur.
• Nearly done with oasis for JLab
  • remote site just needs to create directory (waiting for Edgar to return from vacation)

A.I. Activities

• Thomas B. and Chris T. to give talks at Berkley/NERSC at some point in near future
• Some discussion with CREX experiment about adopting Hydra

SRO Activities

• ERSAP document updated with description based on CLARA
• Hall-B SRO setup can now be used without TriDAS (with some trickery)
• Ben R. sent VTP file/stream format to Vardan
  • bug identified in firmware
• Empirically discovered 2 additional header words at start of stream
• SRO meeting this week moved to Tuesday to resolve scheduling conflict
