Science Tools Working Group
We might meet tomorrow; as of this writing, no Catalog meeting is scheduled, and the organizers might be away.
The current release version of the Science Tools remains v9r7. Here again are the differences from v9r6p3. See the Science Tools Update for July 29 for a summary of the differences.
Chris informs me that gtbin and gtbindef have been released to the world by the GSSC to support analysis of GBM data.
A tutorial on high-level analyses is most likely going to be scheduled for Monday, September 15, the day of splinter session meetings before the collaboration meeting at SLAC. Details are still TBD.
Data products: No news.
Databases and related utilities
My understanding (from Julie) is that Tom, Navid, and Tony have worked out a way for the data server at GSSC to use the authentication system at SLAC. Also, Tony is working on getting the Astro Data Server online (with some updates); in addition he plans to introduce a 'skimmer' for FT1 files. I'm not sure where it will be announced, but LAT people will get word.

Source Catalog
Met last week; see Dave's notes linked to the agenda page. The topics included (provisionally) naming ASP sources and derivation of light curves for the sources. Alignment checks in Toby's analysis were also discussed, as well as Kent's detection of sources by eye from Toby's maps.
