<p class="MsoNormal">Dear CLAS12 Software Contributors,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I like to thank all of you who worked hard to
contribute to
the development of the CLAS12 software, and the preparation of the
IT software
review last Thursday and Friday. Although the final report is not
yet
available, we can say that it was a very positiv review. The
committee acknowledged
that the software is on track for online calibration and physics
analysis when
beam is available. The CLARA framework was recognized as
“innovative” and the
development of GEMC using Geant4 received praise. Also our use of
legacy
software for calibration and commissioning and the long range
planning was very
much appreciated. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most importantly, the committee recommended to
carry out scale
tests of the CLAS12 software this fall (2012), and do full stress
tests in January 2014
with resources to be provided by the Lattice QCD computing
facility at JLab.
This is a tremendously important recommendation and we need to
work diligently
towards achieving these milestones. <span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>A detailed plan on how to meet these milestones was
presented
in the talk by Dennis Weygand. It also shows that much work is
still ahead of us. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The past 3 months have been a rewarding time
for all of us.
In the short time of only 3 months we pulled together the software
work of the past 6 years, new developments were implemented, and
the work of many people
was put together in an appealing fashion. <span
style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>All of this material can be found on the software
review web page: <a

<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,<br>
Volker Burkert</p>
