sPHENIX discussion of software

[pinkenburg <pinkenburg AT bnl.gov>]

Hi folks,

this is a heads up for next week's software meeting. We have to prepare 
for providing a reproducible paper trail for the upcoming publications 
and physics plots. This involves software, calibrations , code locations,...

By Tuesday we should have the first stages of the calorimeter production 
under PanDA working up to the waveform fitting. The output will go to 
lustre. The next step is then calibrating the DSTs as part of this 
production which means we need to collect those calibrations and get 
them into a shape that they can be applied. Then wash rinse repeat 
(which PanDA under Sasha's guidance should be able to do for us)

I know that the calibrations DB hasn't worked in the last couple of days 
for run wise calibrations (any calibration with a limited validity range 
actually - Thanks Mickey for letting me know), I have found the reason 
and it should be back with tomorrow's build.

Also - we need an expert who will be responsible to merge calorimeter 
software PRs. With the rapid development going on, I just can't stay on 
top of it.

I made an agenda with talks for the calorimeters, mbd and zdc:

please let me know who will give the presentations (I can always add 
more). They should be geared towards what exists and what still needs to 
be done to get to the input for final "physics grade" analysis.

Chris
