Minutes for the terameeting of April 23rd, 2008

Present: Yannick, Patrick, Gregory, Henry Joy, Mathias M., Mathias S., Emmanuel.

Emmanuel's summary document

Fred's hardware update

MEGACAM operations
-  Yannick needs to know what files contribute to stacks with a large photometric offset. Mathias will send the list to Yannick before Apr 25.
-  Mathias will ask Jean-Charles about the stability of the zero-points derived during photometric nights (deadline Apr 28).
-  Yannick will wait for the job outcome monitoring process to work before using the Spica2 interface to start QualityFITS.
-  QualityFITS will be run a second time with cosmic-ray detection turned off on images with the very best seeings.

WIRCAM operations
-  Yannick says that the IR dithering pattern is the PI's responsability.

Spica2 developments
-  Greg/Mathias M. will send to Emmanuel the list of numerical db fields and Emmanuel will send in return his suggestions for the most appropriate printf()-like display format (deadline Apr 28).
-  The monitoring of job outcomes is an important issue. Several options are reviewed: control daemon, cronjob, or a wrapper that monitors each task right from the computing node. Mathias M. seems to favour the latter. A deadline is set for May 7.
-  Patrick would like to be able to select .reg files in the same way as flats or masks from the Spica2 interface (provisional deadline: Apr 25).
-  Greg and Mathias M. will define a consistent table display scheme that will be used throughout the Spica2 interface.
-  Mathias M. will add support for '*' wildcards in addition to the '%' (deadline: Apr 25).
-  Mathias M. and Greg will add a processing software version monitoring feature to the Spica2 interface (provisional deadline: May 30th)

System/Hardware
-  Emmanuel and Mathias M. will discuss with Carlos or Georges about the teralist exploder (deadline: Apr 28).

Next terameeting: Monday April 28th, 10:00 in room 281.
