Core Minutes 3/1/2016

Present: Joanne Bogart, Jim Chiang, Richard Dubois, Warren Focke, Tom Glanzman, Heather Kelly, David Landriu,

ScienceTools: (Jim) made an update to orbitSim so that ft2.tpl would be installed in the proper place. See Science Tools Development Notes for current activity.
Firewalls: (Tom) SLAC recently installed a product which dynamically decides to block ports; that can cause services to fail in very confusing an difficult to diagnose ways.
Core talk:
- Externals (Heather) is ready to make a new tag of TMine which will use the new ROOT. That will conclude the (rhel6) externals upgrade. See JIRA GRINF-67.
  
  She started in on building externals on rhel7, and quickly encountered a show-stopper: g++ is apparently not installed on the public rhel7 machines. She has opened a ticket. You can follow progress in JIRA EXTLIB-20.
- News from Julie (Richard) asked her how the Senior Review went. The response was - Great! couldn't have been better. She is proposing hiring 2 new people which should help with Mac support at least.
