Project status report [Gianluca Petrillo]

Working with 5.0.1 version of clang; final goal is to support OSX again, plan is to make it work on Linux platform first
LArSoft recommends the use of CVMFS.
Problems with the CVMFS server overload on Mac OS are not known to be solved yet

CVMFS: need sign off from the experiments as old area will be not available after April 10

adding neutrino identification
zero or one neutrino interactions are identified
Particle stitching between multiple drift volume only affect detectors with multiple drift volumes
feature/larpandoracontent_v03_11_00, affected repos: larpandoracontent, uboonedata, uboonecode
[Giuseppe] where is stitching code?
[Gianluca] can it be extended to identify more than one neutrino interaction? [A] Yes, each interaction ("slice") is assigned a score, it's just matter of selecting slices with highest scores
[Giuseppe] the score should be persisted, and quantities used for it as well [A] that is a feature we want and we should contact LArSoft to start that if MicroBooNE is interested
[Lynn] is MicroBooNE ok with this new update going in LArSoft? [Herbert] yes

given the interest by MicroBooNE in persisting the score, the Pandora group will advance a proposal

proposal to add a new data member to raw::RawDigit to allow more robust procedure to truncate the waveforms
