[Rivet] Rivet 1.8.3 testing+release & collab meeting

[Andy Buckley]

Hi all,

Two quick notes:

1. I think version 1.8.3 is ready to go for testing now: I'll send a
mail and tarball to Anton K and hopefully release next week. We expect
one more ATLAS analysis to come in after the main testing but before the
release.

Since there was no opposition, we will lock the AIDA branch to new
commits after this release. That doesn't mean that there will
*definitely* be no more 1.8.x releases -- in fact I half-expect that at
least a 1.8.4 will be needed to collect new analyses until the
YODA-based 2.x is really in full circulation. But no more feature
additions, and only serious bug fixes. Any new, new analyses or features
should go into the trunk. Ok?


2. Collaboration meeting: May is looking good. A more complete response
later, but Jon B mentioned that UCL would be a possible venue. Since
that would be more free from distractions than CERN, and is easier to
get to from diverse locations than Durham is, I suggest we have the
meeting there. Again, ok?


You only need answer the "ok?"s if your answer is "no" ;)

Cheers,
Andy
