We had a few schedule/topic changes (noted with (*)). The most notable
of which is the ORTE/Red Storm meeting needs to move to 1pm Tuesday
(Greg/Ralph -- this affects you). So we'll start with Greg's stuff at
1pm, and move on to Red Storm/ORTE after that.
Here's the updated schedule:
TUESDAY
--------
- We're starting 8am at the Holiday Inn Express in the conference room.
- We'll start off with status reports followed by a presentation of
goals from each institution (see the list below). Feel free to bring a
few slides for your presentation, if it would help. Aim for 10-15
minutes max.
(*) - 1pm, Greg and the ORTE/Red Storm will discuss Greg's perspective
of ORTE (approx 30 minutes). Then we'll move on to Red Storm and other
general ORTE issues.
- The rest of the day will be ad hoc discussion of the other agenda
items and/or specific code issues (see below).
WEDNESDAY
---------
- Collective sub-group will convene at 8am at the ACL building (will
probably need to arrive a bit earlier to get badges). Access Grid
starts at 8:30, goes until 11:30am.
- Rest of group convenes at the Holiday Inn at 8am. Ad hoc progression
through the other agenda items and/or code issues.
- Rich would like to invite everyone over for a cookout at his home on
Wednesday evening. Time TBD.
THURSDAY
---------
- Collective sub-group will convene at 8am at the ACL building (will
probably need to arrive a bit earlier to get badges). Access Grid
starts at 8:30, goes until 11:30am.
- Rest of group convenes at the Holiday Inn at 8am. Ad hoc progression
through the other agenda items and/or code issues.
========================================================================
=========
Random note: I motion that we skip the Tuesday teleconference the
following week (2 August), since we'll all just have been together the
previous week.
