Dear
Anita, All,
Please
excuse me for being brief; ironically these couple of days
my diary is totally full with things that I needed to get
out of the way before travelling (!)
I
agree with the general idea of a meeting of some type, but
discussions will be difficult. Further we should decide on a
date soon and also to give people time to prepare, having
the meeting towards the end of the week will help. No doubt
SC, OC plans are being made in parallel so we should be
careful not to overlap.
I
remain in a tricky position of having a couple pf people who
have requested to give talks in the “old” style of a task
update and who disagree with the new format. If there’s any
consensus about how to shepherd these, I would appreciate
any thoughts.
I’ll
check with Laura, Dorit and Michael Z. who are confirmed and
were writing their talks. I expect they would be happy to
talk pretty much as they had been planning to do so.
Will
keep in touch
Garret
Hi Emma, Dieter, Fabian, All,
thanks very much for your input so far!
From this I conclude that the answer to the question "if" is
a "yes" so far. (Please all other comment!)
Concerning the "when" there seems a
slight tendency for next week (i.e., at the time of the
original collaboration meeting). This would benefit from the
fact that most HESS members anyway kept next week free for a
HESS meeting. It therefore makes sense that we should
benefit from this and also schedule any online AP program
next week (in whatever form it may be). A time slot towards
end of next week gives people some time to possibly adjust
the contributions (if necessary). This is my personal
opinion, however, and is, of course, open for discussion.
Less clear seems to me the "what" and "in
which form/format". The form/format depends significantly on
the "what". What do we want with our AP program. Informing
the collaboration? Or more? If yes, what exactly? A
1:1-transformation of our original F2F AP program to a
vibe-meeting seems to me difficult. As Emma already noted,
we had a program that should foster discussions. This is
difficult in vibe-meetings, works maybe within smaller
groups meeting on vibe, but is essentially not really taking
place when larger groups (e.g., whole collaboration) meets
via vibe.

Hi Anita,
make an online event seems
feasible but requires time to organise it. I am
not sure the structure we had in mind, focus on
fostering discussion, works anymore, and we need
time not only to rethink it but also to
communicate to our colleagues. I worry people
would only connect to listen the talks they care
about, which is similar to the regular calls on
different topics we have.
I proposed yesterday on my WG
to maintain a couple of Skype meetings on
different projects. From my list:
We could have a call on
this - but we have regular ones, if only the
people who attend those join, not sure if
we better choose a more suitable time for
the scales of the project (eg when we are
done with all the source analysis)
•Binaries above 10 TeV –Project
kick-off meeting
This could happen, but
we need a bit of brainstorming before hand
•Compact binary
systems –Including LMXB, Globular
Clusters, Mspulsars
A call on novae was
suggested.
3(2) calls… I am not
sure how the general talks would work. In
any case I think we need a uniform
decision (not like let’s schedule some
talk and some others not) and pretty fast,
so people know what’s happening. Maybe it
is worth it to delay our meeting
department and schedule a couple of days
in a few weeks, with a clear online
structure. (said that, I dont know what’s
the best way to organise an online
meeting, would have to investigate)
Hi Anita - I think it
would be good to make it an online event
- we are currently doing something
similar for our cluster meeting in
Hamburg - switching to an online event.
Best wishes
Dieter

meeting in Obergurgl cancelled
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
