Minutes
Attendance: Brian O Reilly Xavier John Whelan Gaby Warren Anderson Duncan Keith Thorne Jolien Brian Moe Ed Maros Kipp Alex John Zweizig Calibration: Patrick summarized the problem with the calibration frames. Brian summarized his viewpoint from the calibration team. Will work with the document T040175.tex as the reference as in the DASWG CVS. After a long discussion, it was decided that we will work to bring the LAL/LALApps codes in line with the specification document provided that makes sense. Since LAL/LALApps is the only way that frame files are used in calibration at the present time, changes to how the data should be stored will be considered as we try to implement the solution. Brian mentioned that there will be a new calibration taken after the commisioning phase. How do we handle this? Brian asked Patrick to send information about how to do this. Next week: Will address the naming issue for calibration epochs Next week: If there are any issues with T040175 coming from implementation Two weeks: changes to LAL will go in. Brian asked about the time-domain calibration document. Should we have some review and make sure that it makes sense for us. Xavi would like to work on a very brief specification of what we will use. Xavi thinks we need to re-visit this. Patrick mentioned that it would be nice to have a tag on all code that is involved in generating particular releases of calibration data, e.g. lalapps_frame code, etc. GPL and LAL: John Whelan introduced the question in terms of the LIGO-VIRGO collaboration. There are some pretty stringent requirements on how the repository is used -- don't mess up code for other people. Jolien mentioned that there is no real reason not to add non-LSC people to the archive. He thinks there is no obstacle to add people. Patrick explained that everything in the current DASWG is open with the express goal of making it available and visible to people outside the LSC. Duncan asked if Patrick would talk to Stan about this. Patrick is to find out how lab employees are to handle contributions to LAL. Warren mentioned the issue of data security by accidental release through the lscsoft archive. Patrick agreed and indicated that we need to be careful. SVN: Kipp asked if we would consider moving to SVN since it can be tunneled. Patrick commented that CVS can too. But that we will continue to keep this under consideration. DMT: upgrades next Tuesday. Meeting adjourned at 13:45
