A few items to discuss:

1) A bit of a tau group forming (Wisconsin, Lisbon, Yale). Plan is to meet between the 3 groups bi-weekly. How should we structure this along with the general meeting?
2) Related: Is there an easy way to update tutorial code along with bug fixes / workarounds in charged pion reconstruction (i.e., SiTracks container bugged)?
3) Discussion on Pandora at CERN Hackathon. Points of discussion:
      i) Other groups (ALLEGRO, CLD @ FCC-ee) also have "customized" Pandora algorithm
           a) ALLEGRO: Working on customized Pandora, also in progress (we are sharing what we find crucial and not)
           b) CLD: Supposedly CLIC-like - substituted in their own clustering algorithm into Pandora. Running Pandora as a whole otherwise.
     ii) Creating common documentation across all users (DOXYGEN). Will include call-outs of hard-coded assumptions and description of algorithms.
           a) Example of hard-coded assumption: # of calorimeter layers sufficient to well contain all showers. A problem for ALLEGRO.
