Goals
From Randy: Post covid SA work model in terms of working both on-site and from home. What is a good balance? What would office space at HQ would be needed and how might those offices be equipped?
Pre-meetings notes
This space is for us to prepare for discussion around the topics listed above.
Post-Covid work model notes
How would you like to change the work model?
Do you have suggestions for modifications to the offices, or to the former visitor office?
Please add your notes here in preparation for the meeting
Josh: One of my concerns would be that the computer infrastructure at my office is inferior to what I have at home in terms of processing speed, data storage, screen size and quality, and even network speed and reliability.
Josh: Another requirement would be that all meeting rooms would have to be really well equipped and maintained in order for remote attendees to be as well connected as those in the room. If the Zoom experience is poor that would really limit the abilities of remote workers once many people are attending meetings in person.
Carlos: What would the impacts on visitors such as the Visiting Scholars be? Currently we share offices.
Jim: Several thoughts
Keck is on a hiring spree – office space will be at a premium
Redesign of remote ops to add some offices?
If I’m at home >50% of the time, do I need an office?
Offices could be converted to private space for telecons, equipped w/ stand-up desk, giant monitor. Could be reserved like a conference room
One/two offices converted to communal storage for books/stuff
Improve data infrastructure (network, NAS/cloud capacity) such that we don’t need to be tied to personal disks with our data on them.
A help desk to replace the emails to “instruments@keck.hawaii.edu”
Is it worth setting up a Helpdesk similar to the remote observing one for instruments? We can differentiate the emails according to instruments if we want to.
PROs: we can all keep track of who responds and past responses
CONs: it’s one additional process to manage
