Urvashi requested changing the day of the CCT meeting to Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. Friday is not possible for Sandra.
Discussion of meeting purpose and necessity.
Generally agreed:
meeting minutes should be openly available to the rest of the CASA team.
Differing opinions:
Concern that developers may feel left out of discussion and decision making process. Also concerned about duplicating meeting discussions.
We often do not discuss everything on the agenda in the CASA team meeting. Moving management items to the CCT meeting might free up time in the CASA team meeting.
The CCT should shield developers from high-level management discussions (e.g. SKA MSv3) until they are matured enough to warrant announcement.
Some developers might be glad to be excused from discussions that do not involve them.
Might be good to replace the CASA team meeting with weekly sub-group meetings. This was not agreed by all members.
We agreed to pass notes from the discussion to Morgan for a decision.
Coordination between regional groups
Not yet clear how we will coordinate with EA groups, but would be good to include them as much as possible.
Might want to have a once-per-month meeting of the full CCT and on other weeks the group lead could act as a liaison between EA and NA/EU groups.
We might want to encourage scheduling of one-off meetings to coordinate between team members as indicated by the RACI matrix.
General agreement that it would be good to have a face-to-face meeting at least every other year.
Overlap with other groups:
Would be good to have more overlap between CASA team and Pipeline team.
CASA Developer Talks might be a good forum for bringing together CASA and pipeline developers. Suggested topics: pipeline development (by Lindsey), SRDP (by Jeff).
