(Up to [wiki:IPP_Progress_Reports IPP Progress Reports])

=== Eugene Magnier ===

 * finished major development work on psphotStack and iterative kron mags for galaxies
 * finished re-rsyncing the data partitions for ipp010, ipp017, ipp020 -- all wave up refurb work is done except for the ipp021 mobo upgrade

=== Serge Chastel ===
 * Czar on Wed and Thu
 * Finished [http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/Zoology Zoology A-015]
 * Working on [http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/Zoology Zoology A-016]
 * ippops1 and ippops2 install
=== Heather Flewelling === 

 * Zoology investigations  (see http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/Zoology)
 * Answered Roy's LAP dvodb questions (there are many missing chips in the camera stage, this has to do with how the diffs are created, no easy fix)
 * grabbed files for JT
 * grabbed files for TD
 * had meeting with the Erics - will help Eric get started on IPP/skyprobe once ifaps1 is back up
 * rsync'd all catdirs from ipp006 to ipp004
 * czar Friday
=== Roy Henderson ===

 * ippToPsps
  * investigated LAP exposures not found in DVO: destreak issue
  * added 'deletion policy' section to the config file: local disk, datastore and dxlayer files all have to be deleted at some point
  * added method to check if a batch has consistently failed, so it can be skipped form future queing
  * changes to code to poll ODM: logging load failures, grabbing the ODM comment so that I can investigate and re-submit
  * further investigations into 0 instFlux detections
  * wrote a MySQL stored procedure for erfc() function for likelihood calculations. Huge improvement to speed (had been using a cursor)

 * czar mon/tues
  * fixed IPP metrics, which were broken when we switched ippMonitor over from ipp004
  * finally fixed issue of metrics not getting automatically updated 

 * Tiger team
  * cuts program now produces ds9 region files per skycell per filter
  * cuts program now produces histograms showing cuts per filter
  * work on sloan cross-matching:
   * imported sloan stripe 82 into our database
   * used TOPCAT in an attempt to reproduce the Durham cross-matching results. Successful, after realizing that Stripe 82 does not cover the whole SAS footprint
   * plots for different cross-matching errors

 * LAP: Identified problem in magicRun queuing due to LAP having multiple diffs from a single exposure with a given label.  Created workaround that seems to be able to keep data moving.  Began work to completely solve this problem, along with a related bug preventing warp-stack diffs from being fully included in DVO.  Continued queuing data.
 * Diskspace: Analysed disk usage script results and concluded that we seem to have a stable processing buffer, but are adding to the final result usage at a faster than expected rate.  Modified these scripts to run via cronjob, so we can have weekly statistics about the current disk usage.
 * Processing: Changed cshrc configuration to select a nebulous server from a list automatically.  This should prevent the loss of one of these servers from dragging processing down.
