Fifth coding sprint¶

The fifth coding sprint took place at DESY, Zeuthen in the week 29 February - 4 March. We will start around noon on the first day and stop around noon on the last day so that you can travel on the same day to Berlin/Zeuthen (we may adapt the exact time of start on stop to your travel schedule).

You can follows us on Monday on SeeVogh (ctools coding sprint, pwd: ctools5)

If you want to stay in Berlin, the most convenient location is near Ostkreuz:

Collection of issues to be addressed during the sprint¶

I hope by the time of the coding sprint we have a good draft of our release paper ready. We may work on analysis examples for the release paper. But we can also address new features needed and discuss the next steps.

Just list below what you would like to do during the sprint:

Have fun
Implement analysis workflows (#1508, see also https://cta-redmine.irap.omp.eu/boards/14/topics/237)
Python Function to Convert GObservations to GCTABackground3D (#1530)
Implement a PSF table format
Finalize the classical analysis (I know, we have this pending since a long time, but we should terminate the work which is almost done)
Implement smoothing, oversampling and denoising of images (and skymaps), mentioned in (#1530)
tool to compute systematic errors (#1712)
Finish a GModelSpatialRadial for dark matter halos (#1520)
Support energy dispersion in stacked analysis
Create tools for the generation of IRFs from Monte Carlo event lists
