Two weeks ago I participated at the ISO C++ standard meeting. It was my and CERN's first one and a pleasant surprise. A few news items:
Compile your own C++ standard!

The C++ standards committee has published the LaTeX sources of the standard documents (as they are now, not the ones used for the standardization of C++2011) at https://github.com/cplusplus/draft. I.e. if you don't like the way a compiler looks at your code, you can now edit the document, run it through LaTeX, and claim that your compiler doesn't do what's in your copy of the standard! ;-)
CERN in the C++ Standards Committee

CERN is now a member of the C++ standards committee.
The LHC experiments and CERN itself use and have created a C++ code base of an estimated 50 million lines of code. Tens years, thousands of developers. About 10,000 people using C++ connected at CERN: users and staff. Given those numbers it makes sense to have opinions on the language features, and to share these opinions with the body that defines the language - just like Fermilab does already.
Standard PROOF installation on a cluster of machines
Standard PROOF installation on a desktop / laptop
In this section we describe how to get a standard (via daemon) PROOF session on the local machine.
The advised way to run PROOF on a desktop is using PROOF-Lite. However, for testing purposes (or if the ROOT version id older than 5.22/00) one may still want to fully enable PROOF on the local machine.
To do that, the only thing needed is a very simple configuration file for xrootd (downloadable from here):
