Meetings

I/O

* Jack - contacted zstd compression project at meta people - meeting with them next week 

LIM meeting 
* happened, all good with experiments and our newest patch releases


CAT (Common Analysis Tools) Hackathon
* data joints - set of common characteristics 
    * an event always stays an event
    * not one to many matching of events 

* ROOT conda package - heavily used --> 6.32.00 officially on conda 
* MakeShapes analysis framework -- develop a wrapper for correction lib so that the use of vector inputs is possible

Special topics 

Presentation by Pavlo Svirin: Modular builds for ROOT 

Questions: 
* Jakob: make menu config thing, can this only work with cmake? 
    - for now it was just a test?
* what about ninja? - difficult to use, ninja doesn't support the job server, can't use the resources efficiently 

* Danilo: 
    * after Bertrand is back -- contact him - he is the CMake person in the team 

Status of macos15


* C++ standard library in macos was changed 
* requires clang 16 and later
* module map file for 14 and 15 
* backport from llvm 17  
* 6.28 and 6.30 - disable macos15 in the CI 
* can it work with conda? - maybe, to be tested 
* if we want to support macos native, we will need to update llvm every year 

Round table extras


* Vincenzo - 
    * CMS Combine built on top of 6.30
    * but they want to try to work with 6.30.08 on conda instead of jumping 6.32.02 on conda? 
    * Jonas Rembser needs to help as the issue is with the fits convergences 
    * conda does cross compilation on linux -- nice for CI testing
