Words from Randy

Randy

• March 8 SSC meeting - slides can be similar, but should go into a bit more depth on a technical issue/upgrade on an additional slide

  • Using the next SA meeting (March 22) to go over the drafts from last time

  • This time will include expanded AO slides and metrics

  • It will be a hybrid meeting, but at least 8 SSC people are planning to come. We will stage outside the room and file in for our presentation. Chien-Hsiu will help Josh with the MOSFIRE presentation, or might summarize what has happened with the ToO distribution over the last year (possibly including the Foley-Fillipenko relation).

• Akamai intern program! Promoting! Looking for projects and advisors. Link for more info is here. Projects should be submitted 2/25.

• A KOA archive scientist is needed. Have feedback on how KOA should be ingesting raw and pipeline data, formats, etc. Let John and Randy know if you are interested.

Words from John

SA Representatioon on ICCB?

Josh

ICCB wants to know if one SA is sufficient. Do we as a group want to have another person to represent us, perhaps to provide a broader base of experience? CCBs getting a bit more structure, so this may have value, but is more work for us.

Instrument software tasks

Kyle

Jeff’s group is making a push to track instrument software issues via Jira. Yes, this is not new. Yes, it is a different Jira board than what we used before. No, thankfully, it is not a new Jira board.

On-site observers

Randy

At some point in the future WMKO will open back up to on-site observers. This discussion could cover what conditions would enable this and what safety measures we might need to put in place. We could also discuss a time frame for reopening.
