Please Note that the meeting will take place at 08:00 Chicago time (Central Daylight time) and 14:00 Geneva time (Central European time).

08:00 → 08:45 Release Preparation

Proposed dates (see attached calendar):

• 26-March for fddaq-v4.4.0 release candidate 1
• 17-April for the final fddaq-v4.4.0 release build
• some number of release candidates in between, each with a decreasing number of changes

Proposed changes which will be "code complete" for 26-March:

• CRT software changes: this would include what already exists in PRs plus the changes to communicate with the CRT subsystem (e.g. startapp and stopapp), including whatever movement of code between repos will be done for fddaq-v4.4.0
• the bulk of whatever changes we want to make for "trigger bits" in fddaq-v4.4.0
• DQM deliverables
• changes to support better information about "data_streams" for the offline
• additional configurability for TPG

Proposed goals for 'external' packages:

• daphnemodules? by 26-March?
• at this point, is all that remains to do with third-party externals is to compile them with the new CMake?

Proposed fixes for operational issues to be ready by 26-March:

• better tardy-TP message; quiet-ing of the burst of these messages at the start of a run
• investigate/provide a fix for "Object already exists" messages from TPWriter when the TP rate is low.

For other miscellaneous deliverables, let's talk about the open ones:
