(Apologies for any ommissions or mistakes!)

Meeting start: 3:04 PM ET

 - Meeting Time [Tuesday, 3 pm ET]
   - No objections
   - Plan on current time being default time

 - Kevin will send update on what epic-analysis
   needs from EICrecon via email

 - Brian: can you elaborate on the "standalone
   plugin" and "example macro"?
   - Standalone Plugin:
     > Reads in DD4HEP output (i.e. edm4hep
       files) and reconstructs jets
     > Will be used for prototyping jet algorithm
   - Example Macro:
     >  Reads in EICrecon jet output and
        works with jets
     > e.g. calculating JER

 - Brian volunteers to work on example macro
   - Has functioning macros which work with
     EICrecon output
     ==> Will serve as good starting point
   - Will start protoyping by looking at
     reconstructed particle branch

 - Kevin volunteers to help with any tasks
   after completion of epic-analysis work

 - Joern: how does EICrecon integrate with
   3rd party software? Will you use Fastjet?
   - We'll use Fastjet! Fastjet should be
     available in EIC shell
     ==> Will amount to including relevant
         headers
   - Kolja confirms that Fastjet is included
     in the EIC shell

 - Continuing discussion:
   - Joern points out that there's now a 
     header-only version of Fastjet
     ==> Has almost all of the basic Fastjet
         functionality
   - Is pointed out that the full Fastjet
     installation is necessary to work with
     Centauro algorithm

 - Zhongling volunteers to work on standalone
   plugin (contingent on advisor's approval)
   - I'll provide examples and support to help
     Zhongling get started
   - Kolja volunteers to hang around to
     provide help

 - I realize that I forgot to record meeting
   ==> Will remember to next time!

Meeting end: 3:22 pm ET
