Could go to Frontiers in Physics, special CHEP edition. Graeme will contact the editors. + +Next meeting on [HS3](https://github.com/hep-statistics-serialization-standard/hep-statistics-serialization-standard), still to fix a date. + +### Software Tools and Packaging + +Meeting last week with Graeme Stewart, group conveners and Fermilab developers working on Spack integration: Marc Mengel and Chris Green. + +Graeme and Marco will report in the [AF next week](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1251048/) on the Spack state-of-nation (they have been speaking to quite a few groups). + +Could consider presenting this round-up in a future packaging meeting. + +### Detector Simulation + +Had a [meeting](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1321071/) on 18th September on G4 optimisation and tuning. Two interesting talks. Some discussion between experiments. + +Would still like to have a meeting on physics model extensions. + +### Reconstruction and Software Trigger + +No new updates (still planning 4D tracking talk and another session on "efficient computing"). + +### PyHEP + +Abstract acceptances went out last week. Now finalising timetable for [the workshop](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1252095/). Event will fill the 4 days. + +### Frameworks + +Have not yet settled on a date for a presentation regarding HPX. We will likely have a talk in October regarding lessons learned on incorporating C++20 within the art framework. + +### Physics Generators + +- Preparing a meeting on shared elements between MCEGs +- Discussions on workshop for MCEGs in NHEP + - This would have a broader focus than the [N(N)LO workshop at CERN in November](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1312061/) + +### JuliaHEP + +- [JuliaHEP WS preparation](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1292759/) + - Preparing an initial block schedule + - Decided to extend the abstract submission deadline to 9 October + +## Other Interest and Activity Areas + +### Compute Accelerator Forum + +- 13 September meeting on [RISC-V](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1264300/) was well received and the video is posted +- 11 October meeting will look at [D programming language](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1264301/) +- 8 November meeting will be a presentation on [HEPiX benchmarking](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1264302/) + +### Software and Computing Roundtable + +No progress on restating yet, but not forgotten! + +--- + +## AOB + +### Technical Note on Project Best Practices + +The update on *Project Best Practices* will now be submitted to Zenodo. Last chance to [review](https://github.com/HSF/documents/blob/master/HSF-TN/2020-01/HSF-TN-2020-01.md) for this Friday. + +### Website + +Benedikt started an [issue in GitHub](https://github.com/HSF/hsf.github.io/issues/1411) to gather ideas about reorganising and revamping the website to better reflect our areas of actual activity. + +*We aim to try and have a new website ready for next year.* + +### Community Calendar + +As the autumn is now firmly entrenched, we should make sure the calendar is up to date with events for next year. + +- [ ] ALICE +- [ ] ATLAS +- [ ] CMS +- [ ] LHCb +- [ ] EIC +- [ ] Belle II +- [ ] DUNE +- [ ] Conferences (ACAT and CHEP) +- [ ] LHCC Weeks + +And anything else relevant for the software and computing communities in NHEP? + +### EPIC + +Went through a software decision process. Will be reviewed in October. Will need to make progress on *metadata*. Would like to work in the HSF context. + +Paul Laycock would be a good contact, especially for the new metadata server used by sPHENIX that followed the HSF recommended design. (Work was [presented at CHEP](https://indico.jlab.org/event/459/contributions/11326/).) + +### Next Meeting + +The next meeting will be on [12 October](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1225026/). + +Reminder: please [sign up](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z1Z4payCpieOLiVFcC6y9j-KCj71u6xX232LHUgIHfI/edit) for chairing this or one of the future coordination meetings - we need volunteers from now until the end of the year!
