KVS program, planning forward to next round of scholars

Randy/Josh

  • Restarted this year after pandemic in limited fashion, by invite only

  • Want to go back to full call for proposals

  • Plan is to present summary at KSM

  • NASA CAN renewed!!!!

  • Waiting on decision about over guide: Staff here to help with DRPs.

    • NASA has “dumpster fire of FY23 budget”

  • SCALES was awarded NSF MRI

  • LIGER did not get MSRI, no info yet on why

  • DEIMOS detector upgrade MRI proposal was declined, but we will do this, but will mean schedule slip

  • HISPEC MRI was declined

  • We got 1 out of 3 MRIs, which isn’t bad

JWST follow up observations with Team Keck time

John

  • Cycle 2 proposal call comes out in November

  • Worth thinking about Team Keck follow up possibilities

  • We (Randy?) looked at high z candidate with NIRES, non detection increases odds that redshift is correct

  • There is an opportunity here until cycle 2 is in play

1:39

WWW3 and instrument pages

Jeff

  • About a month ago, process to release public web pages broke, not sure why. The cron which copies to public server doesn’t work. Has to be done manually.

  • www3 is new web server provided by DSI

  • www3 is public NGINX page, not Apache like existing pages

  • Software has page on web development which has details of systems

  • Opportunity to move instrument pages to www3

  • Can password protect pages using windows login (LDAP)

  • Releasing web pages is via kdeploy

  • Jeff has copy of instrument pages which work

  • Jim: this is a project the size of a CI, do we need to worry about effort involved

  • Josh: could we start version controlling contents?

    • Jeff: we can look in to this

  • Josh: would we be able to build small flask apps? Yes

  • Josh: might be able to link to grafana to show graphs? Maybe.

  • Current thought is lunch at Merrimans on a week day

  • Other thought is family beach day on weekend and buy food.
