ROOT Team Meeting 15th April 
 
Shift handover: 
- all is green, problem with mac mitiigated 
- almost everything assigned 
 
Meeting summaries: 
- RooFit workshop - very successful - a summary at a meeting soon 
- PPP - Jonas' presentation on histograms - a follow up discussion is requested (a few people were missing, an important topic to be discussed)
- I/O meeting - CHEP abstracts discussion - maybe a discussion in the ROOT meeting next week? 
 
XGBOOST and RBDT issue initiated by the PR#15173 from Jonas 
- Motivation: fix RBDT issue in the tutorials - silently giving wrong results 
- Discovered on the side RBDT XGBOOST test in python fails (it was not working for a while)
- possibility of using XGBOOST through ROOT exists since 2019 -> it worked for a while but at some point we stopped testing it on the nodes --> we have a fix now but the fix involves an issue of XGBOOST and cppyy interfering due to c++ symbols 
- Vim found a fix but the fix is in the XGBOOST (if this works is great)
- the fix is big but it is self-contained - patch, merge and backport? - yes but let's be careful that is really works well - but alma9 will be red 
 
Roundtable
- point to think about (esp. regarding 6.32) from Danilo: We need to decide what to do with the inclusion of GPL packages in our future binaries. 
- LGPL 2 (what we use) vs LGPL 3 (that could solve some of our issues)
- for sure we need to communicate better what we are distributing (in README)
