• Installation
  • Take ROOT out of ILCinstall, have users install themselves -> Tom
    • Install doesn't work with ROOT 6
    • Should check if ROOT already installed -> download if it isn't
    • Tobias and Simon working to create an installer for developers -> Frank Gede
• Documentation
  • Tom's documentation for Pixel? -> report in Pixel TB meeting sometime
    • To be expanded for use by 'everyone'
    • Virtual machines with working installation available
      • Host today
    • Add recommendations for versions
    • Put it on eutelescope.web.cern.ch -> Tom
      • Waiting for feedback
  • EUTelescope forum old, use GitHub issue tracker -> Ingrid to formulate a mail
  • Updating/concentrating mailing lists for users and developers -> Edo, (Tobias)
    • One list for developers, one for announcements to users
    • Questions/discussions on issue tracker

• Clean up old code -> Tobias
  • Backend work
    • Branch w/o Alex' GBL ready, not merged yet -> GBL code
      • Old GBL removed
    • Developers documentation growing
    • Simon starting to help in clean up
    • Implement nice indentation using clang_format
      • Get open pull requests in order before -> this week

• X0 measurement
  • Benni/Ulf's code, GBL-based (biased, because you put in a material estimate!)
  • Study resolution and impact of bias in GBL-method -> Hendrik
    • Test measurements in week 44
• GBL
  • Compare Alex' and Simons code -> Edo
    • Klaus' and Simons code give same results
  • create more general version, compatible with current definitions -> Tom (Tobias)
  • Implement generalized track search (currently triplet search)
• GEAR
  • Write alignment constants to GEAR file -> Tobias, nearly done

    • Will break backward compatibility
    • Valuable new features
    • Ready for version 1.1

-> Tobias

• Pull request from ALICE, which uses new convention for Euler angles

  • Table in 'GEAR' issue on github for revision -> converge within next few days

• Split up into many libraries
  • Start only when code is "stable", i.e. after clean up, etc -> Yi
  • Move hit conversion from EUDAQ to EUTelescope -> done
  • Split up source-tree structure by functionality -> Simon
• Test/update examples, nightlies and continuous integration -> Edo, Tobias
  • To be done when version is stable, after development and clean up

 

• Long term maintenance

    • Move agenda to DESY indico, to be discussed with Ingrid -> Jan

• Paper -> Jens, Hendrik
  • Measurements to show?
  • Validation with simulation
    • Alignment precision, weak modes, etc.
    • Pointing resolution
    • DAF vs GBL
  • Systematics
  • Aim at spring 2017
