Discussion Items
Andy
Working with Simon and a student on up-revving obs_decam. No Blockers.
- The intent is to process images with the Stack from raw through image subtraction.
- The hope is to have this working by the meeting formerly known as All-Hands.
- The new package appears on github in LSST-nonproject.
- Dick: are you documenting the process of creating obs_decam? With a little work this exercise could illustrate the process any user would follow to add a foreign camera.
- Andy: yes, though that documentation will appear in Confluence after we've got things working.
- No blockers
Jacek
- Still catching up on status, as this is only my second day back from a long vacation.
- Closed the June DM Qserv sprint; now working on the July sprint.
- No blockers
- Key features in the July sprint: integration with new xrootd client, and refmatch support
Simon
Simon is working with Andy and a student on obs_decam. See report from Andy.
- The Camera is ready, the mapper has been re-worked.
- Just about ready to start processing data to verify the functionality.
Simon has been working on task documentation. The hardest part is creating an illustrative, working example for each task.
Dick: welcome to my world!
K-T
- K-T is behind with write-ups. Hope to catch up today.
- Steve is debugging problems with the nightly computing simulator.
- An issue with retrieving more than the first image of a visit.
- Greg continues to work on visualizing the sequence of job execution.
- Greg has also been working on Docker, which offers cloud support for creating easily deployable containers on machines. It is also potentially a good way to distribute our software.
- Simon remains interested in this progress
- K-T has also been focusing on Operations Plans and the concept.
Dick
- Dick finished the Tour of the Software Stack page for the SWUG. It summarizes what the stack is about, how it's put together and K-T's assessment of component maturity.
- Also completed a supporting Package & Task Index, which will link to package and task doxygen as that material appears.
- Dick created a new package repo: contrib/tutorials, which contains helper scripts, configs, and data for exercising the various tutorials.
- This is in response to Simon's review of the PhoSim processing tutorial, where he asked for the scripts to be versioned.
- Simon volunteered to take a look at the tutorials package and it's use in the PhoSim tutorial. This is DM-965.
- Dick is also updating all of the tutorials to: a) show users how to retrieve the tutorials package, and 2) eliminate the links to the scripts, which had been attached to the various tutorial pages.
- Dick has not heard further from Russell re: Butler doc, nor from Jim on his (pending) review of the Measurement chapter of the SWUG.
Robyn (in absentia)
- DevOps began Sprint 3 this week; unfinished tasks from the last sprint have been moved forward.
