=== Heather Flewelling === 

 * merging of the ThreePi minidvodbs are done (except for 2 that need some work).
 * czar for 1 day
 * created databases for Jim:  dvodb of the cam stage MD04s, and dvodb of the static sky MD04 stacks (Bill set up the staticsky).
 * updated addRun database and checked in changes to addstar to handle different stages (cam and staticsky are tested to be working).
 * booked flights, hotels, and registrations for PS1SC and AAS conference 
 * worked on videophotometry stuff for pavlos - still working on it.

* ippToPsps
 * wrote a C program (based on old code) for interfacing with DVO. Is called from Jython code to populate database tables for quick detection matching
 * talked to STILTS developer in UK and got a fix for issues caused by infinity values that sneak into IPP FITS files
 * made numerous PSPS schema changes with Jim
 * code changes within ippToPsps to deal with schema changes
 * wrote a more generic FITS header parser for image meta extensions for detections (STILTS doesn't read headers)
 * tested Heather's new DVO Db containing stacks: success. Was able to pull out object IDs
 * more work on detection batches with Jython.

* PSVO:
  * finished changes necessary to implement Daniel's query builder:
   * wrote PSPSSchema as subclass of abstract Schema class. Figures out tables, columns, constraints and populates Schema fields
   * added the GUI stuff necessary to pop up builder, passing it relevant Schema and Listener objects

* vacation on Wednesday

=== Bill Sweeney ===
 * Worked with Johannes K. at MPG to refine the new STS tessellation. Started processing the 2010 data with this skycell definition.
 * Distributed the MD04.deeptest data.
 * Finished the script to perform the staticsky photometry on nightly stacks.
 * Queued and executed staticsky runs for all MD04 nightly stacks
 * Wrote a long email to Robert S. of MPG about the operation of a data store. He is considering using our code to send photo-z data to PSPS. (At some point I need to refine this into a wiki page)
 * Spent an afternoon running psastro on some sts exposures affected by the astrometry problem. The goal is to find a set of parameters for the analysis that improve the results. This will continue next week.
 * Insured that the test exposures for new STS fields got processed.
 * Investigated the persistence effect caused by a 3rd magnitude star in one of the possible new fields.
 * transferred chip outputs from 4 exposures to the rsync server for the outreach program.
