The software week goal is to facilitate coordination between communication and collaboration between everyone as we move forward with the transition away from DOE funding for Fermi. FSSC members will be available at SLAC all week for group discussions and one-on-one meetings. In addition to targeted topics, we encourage attendees with broad or cross-cutting interests to join the various discussions. There will be plenty of work, so we'll need everyone to take part in this transition.

New ideas, Tabled, to be discussed:

  • For Continuous Integration, find way to replace human in the loop testing with automated science validation tests (so a computer can do it for you).
    • Rewrite the technical verification tests to be fast.
    • Write automated Science Validation tests to be fast from the start.
  • Move thread format from HTML to Markdown or RST
  • Find better way to update the documentation. (maybe host it on github).
