Mark Huber

• Czar for Monday and Tuesday, occasionally kicking LAP throughout week
• Worked with Ken Smith to get the TSS-event/name server test setup here
• MD.GR continued: released full SMF camera files for available MD fields (MD04,06,07,10), full nightly stack reprocessing for MD06 running
• Worked with Kent Wood looking into some images of Fermi sources
• Continued looking into making a sample of MD04 JPEGs with WCS for use with PSVO+Aladin but have run across multiple troubles with image sizes
• A little time spent on tests for ppsub again

Bill Sweeney

• Reworked some of the psLib thread functions to work correctly in certain error conditions. This repairs a long standing bug where jobs would fault with assertion failures
• started working on a database table to describe the IPP skycell tessellation. Surprisingly it is currently non-trivial to answer the question "Where is skycell.NNN.MMMM in the sky?"
• Investigated the high number of multi filter staticsky failures. It turns out we need to tweak a recipe value a bit
• Took two days off in compensation for New Years and Christmas holidays on which he worked.
