=== Eugene Magnier ===

=== Serge Chastel ===
 * Czar on Tue and Wed
 * Cluster Storage:
   * Modified ~ipp/local/bin/cluster_status.py (see script and Cluster Storage Notes wikipage)
   * Added skycal to the list of stages
 * MOPS:
   * More data for test of DV3 format
   * Met with Larry and Peter 
   * Set up google doc spreadsheet to keep track of MOPS various requests (reprocessing, ICD modification, bugs...)
 * Condor: analyzing a bug (or a Condor feature) I don't understand yet. Looks like setting a value for the Rank (which is used to tell condor to execute preferably on some targets) can prevent execution. I wonder if it's not a conifguration problem. Well... I'm still investigating.
 * ippdb04 (aka nebulous backup backup): at ATRC. Haydn/Steph/Rita are installing it.
=== Heather Flewelling === 

=== Mark Huber ===
 * holiday czar monday
 * sick day
 * continuing to trace out y magnitude offset and scatter problem in WS diffim reported by MOPS
 * MD04 prep for 2012/2013 season
=== Bill Sweeney ===
 * spent most of this week working on enhancements to cleanup that will recover more space and do proper logging. 
 * Found a number of areas where small amounts of space have leaked through cleanup. For example there are some number of runs marked as clean that still have images on disk.
 * "arranged" to get 3 OSS exposures with seeing worse than the allowed 3 arcseconds to get through processing. MOPS had some simultaneous observations with another telescope that night and they wanted the images to complete processing.
 * extracted some information about all of the standard star observations from the database for John T.
 * Built some sample PSPS queries that show how to use the flags in the new schema for Ken. (64 bit numbers are a pain with sql server!)
 * looked into the cause of some out of range values in the SAS 10 Object table. Looks like DVO is not initializing some columns in some cases.
 * packaged some chip images for the outreach program.
 * debugged some postage stamp server problems. (Mostly caused by wave 1 node hangs)

=== Chris Waters ===
 * Finished diff analysis wiki page, and sent it to Larry and MOPS for comments.
 * Czaring duties and clearing out of old LAP runs that had become stuck for various reasons.
 * Debugging ppStackMedian.  This now works, although there is one remaining bug to fix that causes the program to believe it has failed when it hasn't.
