Topics

• Workshop for analysis facilities
• Florine brings up ACAT deadline.
  • Danilos suggests that 2-3 contributions could be organized
• Summer Students and CHEP papers
  • Danilo emphasizes urgency
• Phillipe suggests a tweak to the pull request process. Turn on Github switch that requires the resolution of all conversations. Addresses the issue that in the past some PRs went in without all conversations. Ensures that all comments have been seen. Due to rebasing some comments may move to the general conversation, which might make it harder to follow the conversation.
  • Vinzenzo asks if the PR opener can resolve a conversation themselves
  • Discussion about the benefits
  • Danilo proposes to discuss and think about this proposal until next Monday and decide then.
