Prioritizing Tasks:  

...

Interface with Slow Control DB: New task: write scripts to copy relevant information from the Slow controls DB to the Conditions Database, determine what data needs to be copied, resolve which run number is valid for the data.

Response-4

Leveling Manpower: This will be an ongoing process. As new members get familiar with the software environment they will likely be able to pick up more tasks. John mentioned that it looks quite scary, since some of the people, especially Pelle, Sho and Omar, are heavily involved with software but also have critical hardware tasks. If there is no hardware there is no need for the software, so hardware will take priority. Maurik will continue to actively monitor this situation and have as many tasks spread out over more people as possible. Specifically, it would be very useful to have an additional person work closely with one of the (overloaded) experts. This is already looking positive with Pelle working with Gabriel and Alessandra on the tracker alignment. Continue to monitor the software load for individuals and continue to solicit feedback from them. Also continue to recruit new contributors to take over tasks.

Response-5

Additional Milestones:  We will use "end of task" as additional milestones. Add other milestones where appropriate.

Response-6

Additional Liaisons:  

For DAQ - SVT, Pelle is already functioning in this role.
For DAQ - Ecal & Trigger, Kyle is currently already talking with the Jlab people, we'll ask him to take this job.
For Data Handling, this is what the Data Handling person is for.

...

We should be aware that there will be a second readiness review for HPS, conducted by Volker, in September. At that stage we want all our software to be in the deployment stage.

...

Framework

Maurik showed 3 slides outlining the Framework for HPS software, see slides with the agenda. All agreed that this was reasonable and represents our consensus of how we approach the software.

Schedule

Schedule updates will be pushed to the online schedule.

ECAL Digitization: Gabriel is making good progress, expects task to be complete in one week. 80% done.
DST:  Omar updated the hps_root dst maker, it now includes ECAL hits, he also reorganized the code a bit. Some further will be done. A follow up email shows where the information page is for this project: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/hpsg/HPS+Data+Summary+Tapes
