(present by phone: RM, KV)
Meeting Agenda
Rob started by showing us a
list of the upcoming and current releases and there importance
(available from agenda). Michel asked Rob if the new eformat for the
10.x.x branches will this cause problems in reading the older data. Rob
said that new version will be backwards compatible (version number
embedded in header).
Ian told us about the Athena
Operation at UVic Webpage that will be used to collect all the
information a user of Athena at UVic needs. He also explained that we
have a mirror of the pacman cache here at UVic (slide available) and a
partial mirror of the cvs repository. Rob suggested adding
Reconstruction/RecExample to the local CVS mirror.
Warren has been in contact with
Alasandro de Salvo in attempts to get his grid Canada certificate
included in the Atlas Virtual Organization (Atlas VO). He is still
getting an authentication error but Ashok and he expect to get this
sorted out in a few days. One possible solution is to access the data
from UK site to determine if this is a CERN specific problem with his
certificate. He has put the procedure
online. Ashok pointed out that certificate related commands must be run
using bash or zsh.
Michel wanted to know where we
are going to put our data and exactly what we should bring over from
CERN. Rolf, Ashok and Warren were assigned the task of figuring out
technically where to put the data and Rob volunteered to design a
logical tree structure for storing the data. It was also decided that
we should transfer all the 2002 and 2004 TB data.
Rolf showed us a 150 GeV pion
run that looks much better then last weeks. He confirmed that his
problem was indeed with the pedestals. Rob mentioned that he should
talk with the Atlas CVS librarian about getting a new package created
with him having commit and tag rights to it.
