%TOC%
---+ News
   * Marco Ca.: testing against LCG54
      * Problem reading back "unsigned int" (Philippe Canal is working on it). To be discussed in the A.F. tomorrow.
---+ Software Releases
---++ Gaudi (Hubert, Marco Cl.)
   * Marco Cl. working to fix the gcc41 build in the nightlies.
      * A cast like "(void**)&pointer" (the one used when calling =queryInterface=) produces a nasty warning. It can be avoided in many ways, but the best (simpler) is to use a small templated function to replace the cast (in GaudiKernel)
      * Investigating (with Markus) a segmentation fault in a test. It seems related to strong optimization operated by gcc 4.1.
---++ LHCb, Boole, Brunel (Marco Ca.)
   * New version of LHCb tagged and ready to be released.
      * Intermittent problem on OSX with libpcre.co (link failure).
   * Problem with the Input property of the MDF input streamer: it supports less formats than the one in the usual input streamer. It should be improved.
   * Brunel & Boole are ready
      * Waiting for a bug-fix in RecUtils. Patrick says it's OK and is preparing a test file.
      * now  Brunel is able to digest rawdata files with missing ODIN banks.

Marco Cl.: we should change the way the decoding of the ODIN is triggered. If somebody does not do any reconstruction, it does not happen, and the recipe is to add =updMgrSvc()= in the initialize, which sounds like black magic. 

---++ HLT (Patrick)
   * Good news: most of the things are there, but not yet in DEV
      * if HLT is not ready in time, DaVinci will be released without HLT (to have a release of DaVinci before Christmas).

---++ DaVinci (Patrick)
   * Most under control
   * Juan working on uDST.

Do we need a back-port of the fix for ETC copy?%BR%
It should be enough to include the fixed package in Brunel.

---++ OnLine (Markus)
Marco Ca.: Is a new release on top of LHCb v23r2 planned?%BR%
It is enough a rebuild.

---++ Panoramix (Thomas)
   * Panoramix is waiting in DEV

---+ Round Table
   $ *Olivier*: Working on TAE (Time Alignment Events) in MFD with Markus.
   $ *Philippe*: Patch script by Markus to fix the copy of ETCs has to be tested and used.
   $ *Patrick*: When will be the tutorials during the Software Week? Starting from Monday morning.
