SasView? Code Camp-II
(Last edited: 25-Mar-2014)
Introduction
Code Camp-II was held at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), UK, home to ISIS & the Diamond Light Source. The Camp ran from the morning of Monday 31 March until lunchtime on Sunday 6 April 2014 with a 'meet-and-greet' over dinner on the evening of Sunday 30 March.
The local arrangements were kindly made by Steve King (ISIS) with details on the planning page?
Purpose of the Code Camp
The high level objectives of the Code Camp were:
- To learn about the SasView? development environment
- To progress and complete tickets in an encouraging and nurturing expert environment
- To shape the future development of SasView?
In addition, on the first day, a series of specific objectives were set:
- Address admin issues (Such as build server configuration, ensuring the right people have access to UTK server etc)
- Work on large key tasks (integration of bumps, restructuring of documentation, compatibility with wx 3.0, refactoring of C models)
- Address all tickets needed for Release and have the code in a release build state.
- Address tasks that participants have brought (requests from home institution and personal pet projects)
- Address tickets on the wish list as time/skill/interest allow
Participants
- Steve King (ISIS)
- Peter Parker (ISIS)
- Mathieu Doucet (SNS)
- Tobias Richter (DLS)
- Andrew Jackson (ESS)
- Paul Butler (NIST)
- Jeff Krzywon (NIST)
- Paul Kienzle (NIST)
- Torben Nielsen (ESS)
- Miguel Gonzalez (ILL)
- Richard Heenan (ISIS)

Progress/Outcomes
A survey of which versions of packages were being used was made (ticket #213) and a table of results is available in pdf. Excellent progress was made on migrating to wx 3.0 (ticket #216) but was deemed too large a change to risk on a relase anticipated by the end of the month and so will be actually implemented once the release is made. Likewise, the change to the repository structure to remove the last vestiges of the name *sans* and make the code layout in the development environment more closely match that in the deployed environement (ticket #218) was ready to push but deemed to risky so close to a release. It too will be done after this release. Finally the project to replace the optimizer (ticket #214) is mostly complete but again is viewed as too risky to deploy for this release.
Aside from these, a lot of work cover a lot of ground was done during the code camp, including a new release of Refl1D. Much of this is documented to some extend in the commits made this week and in the tickets below.
