- NETAPPS2015 1-3 December 2015 was very successful, five papers were presented in the PingER session
- Good news from NETAPPS TPC that some of our Pinger team papers are recommended for possible publication in journal JICT (Scopus Index). However, requires 40% new information and to be done by April.

- Fatimah: she has decided to take one semester off before she pursues her PhD. She is planning to use this semester to explore the area more and finalize her PhD topic. Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed.
- PINGER IPv6: I have one Practicum student interested to work on PingER IPv6. Based on the information provided in PingER site, “(pinger2.pl) will work with both IPv4 and IPv6” while “ping_data.pl will need some mods also.” Following our today’s meeting, the student is expected to create ping6_data.pl which will work on flat file (just to be specific). Dr. Les, has suggested to provide an account for us at SLAC to be able to test. Also one for Adib. We are working on this. Documentation on ping_data.pl sent so the student will get clear understanding on how the current system work and this will help him to progress faster.

Ibrahim has extracted the PingER Zip manually. He is reconstructing 11Gb of data, has 15GBytes of data there. He is trying to use SPAR to classify the data. He also was looking at RDF. the next step is to use MapReduce to organize and reduce the output of data so can visualize it. He will be using a the same techniques he used for looking at 1996-2006 weather data. However at the moment he cannot access his VMs from myren for the last two weeks, even for the myren site, He has emailed them but till now they have not fixed the issue. He has updated all his data in their cloud. No update 1/6/2016
