Core Minutes 1/26/2016

• ScienceTools: (Jim) the FSSC has implemented its fixes to tip for cfitsio v3370. He also received a VM from the FSSC to try to debug some problem they were seeing.. it's not working well. There are problems due to the Mac preferring a GUI environment.

• FSSC: (Joe) No news; just snow.

• Confluence upgrade: (Tom) It was not trouble-free after all. Jean Ballet reported a lengthy load time for the Catalog group's agenda page. He (and others) reported several 10s of seconds load times, a noticeable increase after the confluence upgrade on 2 Jan 2016. I found the load times extremely variable: periods where 13s was the norm, a few times 60s. Due to local cache, reduced load times were possible on occasion. This was reported to SCS and they took a couple of actions, including updating the composition module (tabs), and removing a plug-in called viewtracker that caused a lot of DB activity on popular pages. Still, Jean was not happy, saying the change was barely noticeable. So this is still an ongoing investigation.

• C&A (Richard) attended most of the meeting. Matthew discussed his new python app. You can find a link to his presentation in the agenda.

• Core talk:

  • ROOT (Heather) We're almost there with the ROOT upgrade to v5.34.34, the last external we're waiting for. I'm testing it against GR and have built TMine. I've run into a problem running Gleam, which points at TMine. I'll be bugging Eric. You can see how things are going with this upgrade in Confluence.

  • GR (Heather) There is a new L1 tag: 20-10-04. Warren needs to test it, then put into production once it has received CCB approval.
