Goals

Discussion Items

ItemWhoNotes
Action RequestKTL
  • Need to replace current unmaintainable hardware, including NFS servers.
  • Looking into OpenStack to provide VMs.
  • No expectation for serious running of Apps code at NCSA.
  • To build Qserv expertise at NCSA, would require minimum 10 nodes, separate from current dbdev machines.
    • Would run tests, possibly run buildbot on them.
    • Might like instead 100 nodes with much less disk to push things a different way, but not all the time.

Action Request

KTL
  • "SHOULD" use the minimum number of parentheses for syntactic correctness and readability.
  • Change the Python standard to parallel the C++ standard to omit whitespace around operators * and / and (Python-only) ** and //; add % to both standards.  These will continue to be "SHOULD".
Action RequestKTL
  • Not sure how much code would need to be changed.
  • Problem: SWIG classes use inheritance but do not use super.
