ROOT Planning Meeting
Present ROOT, Andreas, Andrea, Aleandro, Marco, Bill(R)

Peter:
 o Absent because of clash with the Alice's Physics Board. No news to report. The results of the profiling mentioned last week will be circulated this week.

Bill:
 o Testing CMSSW with the Release Validation tests
 o Progress made in fixing some of the issues
 o Philippe deeply involved in the debugging some problems
 o Paul and Bill: working on the treatment of C arrays which was not completely correct in the first iteration
 
Marco:
 o 2 blockers, both in LHCb: one linked to method resolution in Python and the other to the content of namespaces updated by different dictionaries (if dictiory A and B contain entities in the namespace ns. If libA and libB are loaded in this order, some entities defined in libB do not appear in ns. Reverting the order leads to the "hiding" of entities in A)
 o Axel working on the first issue. A handle to debug further was provided in the form of more debug messages. Not yet tried by LHCb because of time constraints.
 o Danilo working on the second issue, Wim helping with extremely fast feedback for what concerns the Python related aspects.
 o New release of Gaudi release, reflex-free ROOT6 compatible and offering at least all the features of the previous one. Will most likely go in production soon, also for Atlas.

Andrea:
 o Cool is now stable
 o Still suffering from the exceptions issue
