Minutes of the UVic Testbeam meeting held Friday, October 8, 2004
(present: TH, RK, IG, AAgrewal, AAstbury, WS,  PP, TI, Rolf Seuster)

Ashok can compile and run Rob's monitoring code with no problems. He plans on reporting any more problems he encounters with the distribution kit to the kit makers and copying the email to Rob. He warned that there is impending problems with SLAC deciding to go with Redhat Enterprise Linux(RHEL) and CERN going with Scientific Linux (RHEL recompiled from source). Richard pointed out that we will have to maintain the fate machines with some kind of a mix of operating systems so that we can satisfy everyones needs.

Tayfun showed us his new run database which has been created at Grenoble (link here). He has succeeded in inserting several runs by hand. He will be investigating with Rob how do dump the data contained in the eLogBook into the database.

Warren gave us a progress report.

Tamara is using cluster density weights without fixing a parameter. This seems to lead to improvements to the linearity of response published in the NIM paper.

Ian has successfully compiled the code submitted by Pavol and others for the Testbeam G4. The code runs outputs events a then dies of a segfault at the very end of execution. He is current searching for the problem.

Rolf has been setting up his machine and has already downloaded the athena test release. He expects it to be working in the near future.

Margret has returned from her month at CERN and is working on recovering from a cold/jet lag. Margret reports that once the CERN G4 code is operational we will need to repeat much of the code cleanup.
