      Report From other DRDs 15m

      is there anything critical you see in other DRDs we should look at urgently?

    • 15:45 16:00
      WG1 (Software) Organization 15m
      Discussion ongoing with Brieuc François 
       
      • We will set up a (Zoom) WG1 kick-off meeting sometime in early 2025 to explain the group's purpose, set the stage, explain guidelines, and give technical information (possibly also with a tutorial). The date and agenda will need to be thought through.
      • Set up a DRD6 GitHub organisation to host Key4hep-compliant code that
        • can be useful for others to take inspiration or even re-use some parts out of the box
        • this will be agile and flexible and will lower the barrier to getting code merged because I want to encourage people to contribute
      • Part of this, the most central/general components, will be upstreamed to Key4hep to benefit from the central maintenance (critical code has to be maintained thoroughly and I will discuss with the Key4hep team to get their blessing for this strategy
      • Plan to set-up a (not too frequent) meeting with the people actively writing code to have a forum for technical discussions
      • I would also like to set-up a webpage with basic “getting started” information, policies to follow, useful resources, etc
