Present:

Eugen (only listening), Herbert, Andreas from Dectris, Pete Jemian, Mark K.

Andreas brought up some question regrading trigger_delay_time which resolved into a clarification that the one in NeXus base class is the hardware trigger_delay_time. A new, effective_trigger_delay, time in proposed which will sum all trigger delays, from hardware or software or else.
As the main players for the other topics on the Agenda were not present, we discussed the NXvalidate white paper. Many points were resolved. Mark K will update the white paper with the results of the discussions shortly. It was felt that it is more important to get the things done rather then haggle for a long time about the optimal solution and details.
The discussion returned to NXmx. Uptake of NeXus/HDF-5 is still difficult. The problem are the data analysis package maintainers. Herbert suggested to have a workshop and help them get NeXus implemented around one of the big crystallographic conferences next year. Dectris may be supporting this workshop.
