1. 1 MICE Software Phone Conference Introduction 27 th July 2005 M. Ellis

2. 2 Focus until October I would like to continue the progress we’ve been making towards a more formal release/testing structure and get at least one practise release done under the full process before the next CM. In addition, we will be trying to encourage more users of G4MICE, and this will be made easier through the provision of services such as user applications and a more flexible means of handling data. Also aim to demonstrate the use of G4MICE on analysis of real data through the KEK tracker test.

3. 3 Testing/Release To be covered at a future PC. In the meantime, I would like all package managers to ensure that there is at least one non-trivial test for each component under their control (e.g. Reconstruction/SciFi, etc...) Once this is confirmed we can discuss the concepts behind a release process and prepare a few sample “delta” releases to get experience at the operation (cvs tags, package dependencies, etc...)

4. 4 User Applications Need the ability to create flexible applications that use the G4MICE software. Applications such as Simulation, etc already exist, but users will want to create their own specialised versions. Yagmur has a report on this next. Once we have the Applications, then we can start talking about persistency...
