Hi Han, At great personal risk, I will step up and offer an answer. There is no overall collaboration membership as such. However, there are a number of collaborations within the EPICS community. Each is organized a little differently, with different processes and formality. Rather than list them all, let me list only those which I know have regular face-to-face meetings. For instance, these three will all meet among themselves and with each other at SLAC prior to the EPICS meeting in October. Bob Dalesio is preparing the agenda for the intergroup meeting. 1. The EPICS Version 4 Working Group [1]. This group is working on the next major upgrade to EPICS, to enable a faster, richer processing environment on top of EPICS Base IOCs. It's probably the most formal group, organized as a standards body working group, aiming to produce normative work [3], a Charter governing yearly goals, with weekly telecons, AIs, and so on. Co-chaired by Andrew Johnson and me. 2. Control System Studio (CSS) [2]. This is a collaboration of labs and individuals to create toolkit for writing graphical Operator Interfaces (OPI). I think Gabriele Carcassi, Kay Kasemir and Mathias Clausen are main contacts. 3. Relational Database group. This is primarily a collaboration between BNL and FRIB, to define standard schema and applications for the relational databases used for accelerators - magnet calibration, log books, recording experiment configuration and so on. Bob Dalesio, or Eric Berryman are who I would go to first for this, though I may be completely off in that. The web site "openepics" [4] hosts continuous integration for 1 and 2 above, plus some other tools. Many apologies in advance to all the people I have offended in this gross summary. Cheers Greg [1] The EPICS Version 4 Working Group, http://epics-pvdata.sourceforge.net [2] Control System Studio (CSS), http://cs-studio.sourceforge.net [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normative#Standards_documents [4] https://openepics.ci.cloudbees.com On Aug 28, 2013, at 8:17 AM, Jeong Han Lee <[email protected]> wrote: Dear All, |
