Verification Testing
A couple of failing tests
RH6 and OSX - test_plotweather, alma-ngc3256-analysis
OSX only - pipelineTest, test_statwt2 (captured on CAS-10013)
Validation Testing
CASA 5.0 Status
MUST-HAVES FOR 5.0
plone
(literally hundreds of tickets, most unfinished individual pages being descoped to 5.1; exceptions being the "help in CASA" page and "visibility data selection" chapter)
(tickets covering the functionality of plone are blockers to 5.0)
CAS-10121 (ready for testing again)
autoboxing
CAS-9208 C++ implementation of the new autoboxing algorithm
CAS-10263 tclean fails to exit when auto-multithresh finds no regions
mstransform issues with averaging
CAS-9853 mstransform (regridms=True) implementation of correct gridding (JDM)
simulations (Andrew has been testing Remy's new features for quite some time, I believe it's almost done)
CAS-8592, CAS-3458 (as well as 9 related documentation tickets)
VI/VB2 validation: tclean
CAS-10050 tclean testing ticket with 10 subtickets (some tickets, not listed here, will be tested for 5.1):
CAS-10191 polarization (Andrew)
CAS-10192 single dish imaging (Catarina)
CAS-10194 basic testing
CAS-10195 VLA/awproject (asked Claire and Steve for help, but nothing yet) (overlaps with CAS-9493?)
CAS-10197 model column (Remy)
CAS-10198 VLASS (asked Claire for help)
CAS-10206 MMSes and lists of MSes (Rachel)
VI/VB2 validation: calibration
CAS-10200 testing new iterator: manual calibration path (Rachel)
MSSelector testing
CAS-8050 Remove obsolete MS selection framework MSSelector from ms tool (Tom)
John Hibbard has gone to Chile to take DMG lead role. Remy has stepped in as temporary subsystem scientist. Lindsey will talk with Remy next week.
AOB
CASA Lead search -- meeting later today to select candidates for in-person interviews. Will discuss whether or not open presentations will be given.
This is a software engineering position.
Will organize a lunch with in-person candidates. At least one candidate will come to Socorro. Others may go to Socorro or Charlottesville.
CARTA meeting -- There is an agenda on the CASA meeting pages, but it is out of date. Jeff will add a link to Google agenda.
DMS software talk this afternoon on SCRUM.
This will be Jeff's last CASA meeting as CASA Group Lead.

Pam Ford
Responded to validation testing and fixed bugs for CAS-8050 (Replace MSSelector with VIVB2 and MSSelection in ms tool)
Continued work on overplotting atmospheric transmission curve CAS-9053
Enrique Garcia
Many interesting discussions with NRAO colleges, mainly about VI/VB2
CAS-9864: Update documentation
CAS-10013: Integration of StatWt within mstransform
Fixed CAS-9985.
Bob Garwood
More code archaeology comparing CASA and ALMA.
Updates to ALMA to incorporate CASA changes and are scheduled for the AUG2017 release (ALMA)
As soon as those are in ALMA and validated, CASA will be updated to agree with ALMA.
Working on move of ASDM + generated (and related shared c++ code) into separate package, working on ALMA Makefile modifications

Asynchronous I/O CDR -- will be scheduled for next Tuesday
Federico M Pouzols
CAS-10036: "flagdata not flagging data!" (with RFlag and correlation selections). I think the code is working well, see ticket for explanations and test code.
CAS-9089 "automatic generation of antenna position corrections from web service / ALMA TMCDB". Getting closer to figuring out the position details with the help of George, Eric Villard and hopefully more colleagues.
Will be looking into flagging issues: CAS-5808 "rflag's use of timedev and timedevscale parameters", CAS-8461 "Flagdata's scan list in log-reports per chunk", CAS-5727 "flagdata mode="summary" ignores antenna selection".
Discussions around frequency binning and TVIs

Babysitting Bitbucket/Bamboo
Investigated CAS-10263
Investigating TkInter.Tk() crash with MacPorts on OSX Sierra
Carta refresher
Takahiro Tsutsumi
Fixed zero mask handling (CAS-10263) - has been merged to the 5.0 release branch
Automask segfault (CAS-10210) - has been merged to the 5.0 release branch
Propagated the some fixes done for 5.0 release branch to master
Friday NAOJ Meeting
Kanako Sugimoto
A fix to channel frequency definition in atmosphere tool ( CAS-10228): merged both to the release branch and master.
Fixes to an issue of atmosphere tool generation ( CAS-10229): support generation of local atmosphere tool by attool() method. Addition of close() and done() methods. tool generation codes are currently duplicated in 3 different places. It would be better refactoring and unifying them.
Discussion of a fix to channel frequency definition in ATM library with Justo ( CAS-9762). The code is fixed by Juan Padro as requested but not in efficient way. But it works anyway, so I will leave it to Justo and TELCAL team.

Validated CAS-10249 (gcwrap CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX issue) ---> Resolved (merged to master)
Created and Worked on CAS-10267(importasap crash) ---> Under Validation
test data looks invalid. It contains duplicate rows (WVR spw, same data, same timestamp, and same metadata except subscan number).
test_sdimaging failed two times in release testing (CASA-R5TS3-16, CASA-R5TS3-TOSIERRA-17)
however, second one seems to be a false alarm. sent an e-mail to Ville.
Renaud Miel
CAS-8082 PlotMS header. Migrated to git, created branch, merged code (svn/git), pushed code to branch for review
