ROOT Team meeting 20.01.25
 
News: 
- shift Danilo to Dev
- a bit more traffic than usual but everything is fine 
- Regarding the actions from the last meeting: maybe GitLab for the internal document? 
 
- Philippe: proposal of a new mechanism for PRs -> text explaining the process added in the Status Report document
- situation: a PR is essentially ready but there is a typo - reviewer approves the PR but the typo resolution is required instead of the re-review
 
- Philippe 2nd proposal: merge roottest.git and root.git repositories (notes and size/time to clone comparison in the Status Report)
- roottest is not as huge as expected while designing things this way 
- full clone is 44.7 instead of 40.6 for separate clones
- disadvantage: git-bisect may be harder for  roottest 
- now one PR for the code changes in root and roottest
- merge as the 1st commit in the new development cycle
- chance to clean up old CMakeFiles in roottest 
- think about it and make the decision next Monday
 
- no. of issues on GH is increasing - close issues assigned to you 
 
Meetings:
Stakeholders meeting 28.01 
PPP by Stephan this week (23.01)
I/O Meeting:
- Serhan joined the meeting - asked about backports of the python interface --> but this would require too many changes
- Round-table: RNTuple validation suite files were prepared by Jonas H. 
- Giuglio: request to reuse RDF nodes - needed for arrow source
- ALICE -- TTree->Draw() --> very few characters to type --> how to convince them to use RDF instead? 
  TTree->Draw() --> very compact but error prone 
 
Meeting topics:
- summer student projects discussion - 4 projects look solid 
- PoW talk on Wednesday by Danilo - quick review of the slides 
 
RoundTable --> see Status Report
