Speaker
Description
Since the last ROOT Users' Workshop in 2015, ROOT has seen many new developments, new team members and contributors, production releases and infrastructure changes. This presentation will summarize where ROOT is, from measurements (lines of code, commits per second, merge request and forum activity) to summary-level news on areas of development and infrastructure (github, Discourse).
ROOT is at the heart of physics analysis - and we want to stay there! This presentation will explain what is driving the development, and where it's being driven to. It will show ROOT's role in today's data analysis context - e.g. where and how it is unique - and what it will take to keep ROOT alive and rocking for the next two decades. For instance, the team will need to focus development on few key ingredients. But what are those? See and discuss the ROOT team's answer in this presentation!
