Email were sent to all software sub-system coordinators asking for volunteers. Feedback were gathered prior (in 2006). Initial was to set a review process by the STAR analysis meeting. What was call for is an informal meeting to gather further requirements and feedback based on an overview presentation of what already exists. The idea was to leave the formal review process for the next STAR Collaboration Meeting and give the project a good opportunity for one more wave of feedback so consolidation and convergence could be achieved by "then". The below attendees answered and volunteered to be on an informal pannel discussion. Past requirements + presentation from Valeri promised.

Attendees: Helen Caines, Thomas Ullrich, Subhasis Chattopadhyay, Richard Witt, Victor Perevoztchikov, Maxim Potekhin

Today's agenda will be focused on getting a few action item from [node:1540 "two weeks ago"] sorted out.

Previous meetings listed below

1. [node:1297]

We are planning to discuss the following items:

• We would review the requests for data and infrastructure and the past week action items
• We will go over the remaining technical details if any
• I would like for the core team to read and review the document attached in [node:1502 "here"] and plots attached by Maxim (thanks) in [node:1501] so we can have a fruitful discussion on this as well.

The agenda is approximate and so are ALL suggested times. It will be reshaped as we issues from all sides will be better understood.
Format will be a discussion on thr first day, followed by work sessions and follow up meetings once every two days (that is, Wednesday, Friday, Monday).
Presentatios on actual R&D should clearly state (restate) the status of their code status of codes in the following areas:

• the presence or lack thereof of those components
• and/or status of simulation model, geometry
• status of code and what has been do insofar (reminder of what is used to simulate hits, etc ...)
• Wish list configurations (Maxim started the discussion) and combination here

The following technical details will need to be adressed at the end of the challenge week:

1. Generic container [we understand Andrew may have an implementation whhich will need to be explained]
2. Makers to fill them from simulation for all new detectors
3. Sti Hit Loader
4. Integration them in bfc
