* [ ] 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
