Activity updates
Licensing
- Paolo investigated LBNL’s positioning on licensing ATLAS code. Licensing as open source they are fine with, as there is no commercial value (even GPL they would accept, but not favour). They don’t like giving up IP though, so would need an exception to assign (C) to CERN. ATLAS considering what to do, given this input (not yet concluded).
Training
- No additional news (no activity this week)
Packaging
- Doodle for next meeting (currently 18 Oct at 3pm looks best). Will allow a few more days for people to put in times and also announce on the general list (as it’s the restart of activity).
AOB
- Clarify how to get write access to Community Calendar and add instructions to website.
