Software Meeting

[David Lawrence <davidl@jlab.org>]

Hi Hall-D Software Meeting Attenders,

    We have another software meeting scheduled this week. This will be 
our last prior to the collaboration meeting which is next week. If you 
have any items you'd like added to the agenda, please let me know. The 
meeting page is here:

    The minutes from last week's meeting have finally been posted (and 
are copied below). During that meeting we decided to change the meeting 
time to 14:00. Since then, I have learned of at least one collaborator 
who cannot make that time, but can make it at 15:00. So, how does 15:00 
sound for everyone? I am tentatively scheduling this week's meeting for 
15:00 in the optimistic hope it will be OK for everyone. If not, then 
please let me know ASAP.

Regards,
-David

=== Biweekly meeting time change ===
We discussed changing the weekly meeting time to 14:00. This would align 
us with the Online meetings which recently switched to 14:00 and 
alternate weeks with us. The change went unopposed and it was decided to 
go ahead with the time change.

Note that a few days later Matt. S. notified me that the 14:00 time 
would simply not work for him. but a 15:00 start time on Friday's would. 
An e-mail notification will be sent out to see if this is acceptable to 
others.

=== Finalize collaboration meeting schedule ===
We briefly discussed the collaboration meeting sent out by Dave the week 
earlier. There were no changes suggested and all proposed speakers 
confirmed they could meet the schedule.

=== JANA framework updates ===
The majority of the meeting time was spent on a presentation by David L. 
on some of the more recent developments in the JANA framework. Key among 
them was the new ''janaroot'' plugin that can automatically generate 
ROOT TTrees based on object information obtained through the toString 
method of data objects.

A few other new features/ bug fixes were mentioned. A suggestion was 
made to better handle the situation when a non-existent file is 
specified on the command line.
