## News

* Summerstudent coming next week:
    * [ ] Room ?
    * [ ] Activate Network outlet?
    * [ ] Computing Account?
    * [ ] Machine available, has to be installed

## Round The Table

### Benedikt 
* Working on EDM4hep/podio
* HepMC to EDM4hep (GeneratorInformation) ready for review
* cdash3: need to fix some bug 

### Leonhard

* Discussing future collider analysis example in re-ana in punch4nfdi with Bonn University
* [k4DetPerformance](https://github.com/key4hep/k4detperformance) kick-off meeting
* Basing analysis on DST files (including ISR, FSR, hadronisation in MC Record)
* ACTS: Geometry ingestion still needs work

### Swathi

* DDCaloDigi porting
    * VirtualCellCombiner (or something)
* Using maps for assigning names to output collections is not guaranteed to end up with the correct content under the correct name
    * DDCaloDigi can be run once for each collection instead of on all 6 collections in one go
    * Other cases where this is a problem?

* Up-to-date Gaudi Splitting / Merging examples?

### Juan

* Preparing a presentation for the Gaudi tomorrow, June 5, at 17:00 at k4FWCore
* FCC week:
    * Draft of Key4hep poster
    * Talk WIP
* Overlay:
    * Some data from Brieuc
    * Need to be able to clone without relations
    * Sometimes CaloContributions are written without Hits

### Mateusz

* Training on Global Address-Space Programming Interface (GASPI)
* Reviewing Oleksander's PR, adding pipelines in julia, scheduling
    * Finishing work, report, presentation

* Investigating Task-Flow. 
    * Asynchronos scheduling: allows adding tasks at runtime, but cannot mix with "static" tasks
    * Heterogenous framework: but have to specify which task on which device on which "stream", not very flexible

### Andre

* Maybe fixed an issue for LHCb in DD4hep, but awaiting confirmation

## AOB

## Summerstudents
* Summerstudent: Are PCs there for the summer students? Do we need to order new ones?
    * Juan/Swathi have a PC, Lorenzo V's PC, need one more? 
    * Mateusz will check w/ Benedikt
    * Screens: Lorenzo V (2x), +1 in Juan's office
    * Leonhard told Yasemin weeks ago about needing a more up-to-date PC

* Dates:
    * Katerina Kostova: 01/07 to 27/09
    * Giulia Gianoli: 01/07 to 27/09
    * Joshua Ott: 10/06 to 09/08
