Dear Anita,
it is a pity that the HESS meeting was cancelled, but I think we should
not try to recover it in the "on-line" form.
Instead, it would be more effective, in my view, that all working groups
organize one or more on-line meetings on the "hot topics" - publications
(papers in progress), ongoing data analysis,
the formation of Task Forces, etc. The number of such meeting, dates,
format, etc. one should leave to the WG leaders, but ask them to write
brief but comprehensive reports about the outcome of these meetings.
best wishes,
Felix

Dear All,
you will have received the message from Stefan Wagner that,
unfortunately, the HESS collaboration meeting in Obergurgl has to be
cancelled. Still, critical status updates are planned to be
transported to the whole collaboration, also supported via a dedicated
vibe meeting.
Further forms of exchanging information are possible. E.g., each
department may organize also a department-wide vibe meeting with
talks, reports, etc that would be beneficial to communicate to beyond
the WG. For the Astrophysics Department it is upon us:
- if
- what
- in which form and format
- when
Please comment by tomorrow (Thursday) late afternoon (~5pm). We may
also have a quick vibe meeting on this (Friday?) if you think it is
helpful.
I am truly sorry for this turn. A lot of work and time has flown
already into the preparations of an attractive AP Program for a
F2F(!)-collaboration meeting. Vibe meetings can not substitute the
important discussions that are typically triggered in F2F-meetings.
Still, to demonstrate an active astrophysics program within HESS,
motivation for most to dedicate a lot of time and engagement to the
HESS experiment, is important.
All the best,
Anita
