=== Eugene Magnier ===

=== Serge Chastel ===
 * Tuesday off
 * Documentation of the "Who is the cluster?" software.
 * "Who is the cluster?" given to MOPS/Denver.
=== Heather Flewelling === 

 * czar for 2 days (including the day of mhpcc power outage) 
 * sas-subset : rsync://ipp0012.ifa.hawaii.edu/sas-subset  contains all raw files all filters for skycell.1406.028 (and likely other skycells as well)
 * sas9
   * wait for gene for dvo changes
   * built dvo for smfs (SAS_v8)
   * wait for bill/gene for psphotstack
 * sas-isp
   * attempts at processing isp-sas stuff is located here: http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/wiki/IspSasProcessing
 * lots of sciency stuff with JT (not involving sas! )

 * Tested Gene's improvements to psphotStack to better model massively saturated stars. The number of false detections is greatly reduced around such objects.
 * Ran staticsky and skycalibration analysis for SAS_v9 which is the new psphotStack running on the SAS_v8 pixels. Made a configuration error so had to run this twice.
 * Started working on a design for software to manage "release versions" for IPP data. This is being done to support several requirements.
   * users need updated calibration information in IPP data. For example zero points for a stack or exposure. These change with re-calibrations, but we have no method for tracking this information and so we can't update the headers of fits files which are requested by users through the postage stamp server
   * currently there is no way to track which pixels the IPP used for to measure a given detection in the PSPS data base.
   * we need to distinguish "released" data from test runs in the IPP data base.
 * Iterated with Conrad on the postage stamp user interface project.
 * Lot's of assistant czar work helping to manage the fallout from the MHPCC cluster power outage and various other strange problems.
