Dear All,
the minutes from our previous vibe-meeting last week are now online:
https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Meetings+of+the+Ast…
I also would like to confirm that the *hess-ap F2F-meeting* of all AWG
conveners does take place, from *25 February (~noon) to 26 February
**(~noon) *at the Landessternwarte Heidelberg, as we have discussed at
the last vibe meeting. A dedicated confluence page with the agenda has
been set up:
https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/F2F+meeting+2020-02…
which also collects ideas (please add!) about the format of the AP-part
of the upcoming HESS collaboration meeting. This point will be finalized
at the F2F-meeting; please prepare for this F2F-meeting a suggestion
from your side for a preliminary structure of the collaboration
meeting's AP-agenda.
Today the OC had a first telecon meeting after the proposal deadline. In
total, 40 proposal were received. This week they will be screened and
integrated into the data base and shall be available for everyone next week.
At this telecon also the role of the AWG conveners was briefly
discussed. All AWG conveners are kindly invited to participate
throughout the whole OC F2F-meeting in Heidelberg (24 Febr (~noon) - 25
Febr (~noon)) where the proposals will be evaluated. Appreciating your
effort to support the OC and your desire to optimize efficiency another
suggestion was made. Reserving a dedicated 1-2 hrs block to interact on
any questions from the OC to the AWG conveners that may arise in the
evaluation was suggested. This could be scheduled for Tuesday (25 Feb)
morning with in person (preferred option; vibe should be possible, too)
discussions between the OC and conveners. Would you be available/
interested in?
All the best,
Anita
Dear All,
this is to provide you with some bits and pieces of news on various
points:
- The *minutes* from our previous vibe-meeting are now online:
https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Meetings+of+the+Ast…
Please let me know if there is anything important missing.
- As discussed during the last vibe-meeting we're aiming for
a*F2F-meeting *of all HESS-ap conveners to take place back-to-back to
the (yearly) OC-meeting at Landessternwarte Heidelberg. The dates for
this meeting are not yet fixed, the aim is around mid to end February
2020. I'll keep you posted on the dates, etc.
- *Confluence pages:* Heike kindly put together some instructions of how
to deal with incorporating the old confluence pages into the new
structure. Whether confluence pages are moved or copied can be decided
on a case by case basis, and should be decided by the corresponding WG
conveners and/or task leads. Heike advises to move (rather than to copy)
the old confluence page. The How-To-Do instructions including some more
details from Heike are attached to this email. When moving confluence
pages, may I ask you to consider to
* check all confluence pages concerning updates, outdated or redundant
content, etc. and modify accordingly
* follow the "Confluence Rules"
https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Confluence+Introduc…
* use a sensible confluence page naming scheme
If you encounter any problems, please contact Heike (
heike.prokoph(at)desy.de ) for support.
- *MWL board*: We need to move forward with setting up the MWL board.
As discussed earlier all the seven AWG conveners, Stefan W. and myself
shall be members of the MWL board. This board shall be enlarged by
further HESS-members as needed (to be discussed at the constituting or
later MWL board meetings). We plan the formal constitution of the MWL
board to take place early next year (possibly as part of a HESS-ap
meeting). I will set up a corresponding confluence page for the MWL
board, that then further needs to be maintained by the chair (to be
discussed) of the MWL board.
- Given that the planned F2F-meeting unlikely takes place before
February I'd like to call for the *next HESS-ap vibe-meeting* sometime
mid to end of January 2020. Please indicate your availability for this
vibe-meeting at the following poll:
https://framadate.uibk.ac.at/studs.php?sondage=6mamjmj5s9uvpj1x
by 10 Jan at the latest.
Finally, let me take the opportunity to thank you all for your
supporting and committing help in the restructuring phase of HESS. Quite
some work is still ahead of us, but I am confident that a "steady-state
phase" is in reach, hopefully in the early parts of next year.
Wish you all pleasant winter Holidays, and a prosperous New Year 2020!
All the best,
Anita
