Hello, We got two more questions from the software panel added to the already long list. Your input is very much welcomed. Pere 12) Each experiment reported use of FLUKA to a greater or lesser extent. Please formulate a statement expressing the experiment's request for support of FLUKA, involving IT and possible others, and its relative priority in the spectrum of products needing support. 13) The use of ROOT as an analysis package is widespread in the HEP community and within many of the LHC experiments. Some experiments made it clear that they considered ROOT as a product that "would be there" as a backup, or in case they should choose to use it. Please formulate a statement expressing the experiment's request for support of ROOT, involving IT and possibly others, and its relative priority in the spectrum of products needing support. What would be the effect on the experiment if ROOT were to become unsupported, or become available to 'ROOT collaboration members only'? Does the experiment foresee any future development path for ROOT which could provide a bridge from what exists now to what they need in an analysis package, perhaps making it one useful tool among several available.
