Present: ROOT team, Marco, Peter, Benedikt, Bill(R), Valeri(R)

ACTION:
o Axel/Danilo: Mail Rolf+Valeri to confirm the absence of need of tags
o Pere: Check with Philippe and coordinate the beta2 tag
o Danilo: Study the patch of Bill for the IO Rules, which has been submitted
via Jira (ROOT-6036) and test it

o Marco:
 - Loading dicts in different order have different effects: entries in the
   TClass seem to be shadowed.
 - One Release is needed in Feb and one at the end of March, due to new
   LHCb plans.
 - The plan: not pick up Beta2 BUT whatever is there by the end of March
 - We loose therefore 1 Month of validation time, 1 month less to get feedback
 - End of March is a HARD DEADLINE, if LHCb manages to tag the full stack
   before, better.
 - Concretely the test of the packages down to Da Vinci should succed,
   Boole has lower priority in the list.

o Pere
 - Beta2 is going to be what we have now, modulo the small things Philippe
   would like to have in.

o Peter:
 - Next week report results of massive tests going on
 - Comparisons between ROOT5 and ROOT6

o Valeri:
 - Full atlas stack againt 5.34.13 with no Reflex at all compiles!
 - Next week: atlas ready to switch to ROOT6
 - No special tag is needed for Atlas, as ROOT is an external (see actions)

o Bill:
 - Replaced the last Reflex usage un CMSSW!
 - All 7 relval tests fail
 - 3 different reasons: 2 are linked to ROOT.
 - 1: IO rules declared to be different even if the code for the transformation
   had different spaces. Patch will be provided (see actions)
 - 2: Checkum error: Bill is investigating it
 - The IBs were built with LLVM in debug mode: starting from today, they will be
   in opt mode. We will gain a factor of ~10.
 - A relval is failing with a problem of boosted decision trees: not likely to be
   conditions related, rather Reco/BTagging.

o Andreas:
 - Might have spotted a relocation issue in the condition area: investigating
 - Issue in reading back ROOT6 ROOT5 data: investigating the details
