Interactive Services | We are now developing the Plan of Record for OpenSky for this cycle. We decided not to try to implement joint proposals. We will proceed with the separation for the User and Proposal databases. Requirements for this are being finalized. |
We had hoped to have replication (mirroring) of the user database to the NRAO from OpenSky by now. A test database is running. | |
The PST helpdesk will migrate to the standard NRAO one (based on Kayako) by the end of the month. | |
Management | A job description for the Head of OSO is almost complete. |

VAO | As mentioned before, the VAO Science Council takes place at the end of the month at GSFC. A run-through of presentations will make via video this coming Friday, 19 March 2010. |

Web | A security breach was discovered and fixed. It was a SQL injection attack. Unfortunately, it allowed the NRAO to serve as a host for drug advertisements and possibly as a source of malware. |

ALMA | Three visits from Socorro staff to Chile (all well). 1. Testing procedures at the OSF interferometer, e.g. setting up regression tests of CSV activities. 2. Quicklook GUI updates/discussions. Debugging correlator software problems. Impact of earthquake still not clear; no reports of personnel injuries yet. |

We are now using Pivotal Tracker to manage the Dynamic Scheduling project, KFPA pipeline project, and GBT portion of the VLBA upgrade. Initial response from everyone using PT is very positive and it seems to be a very useful tool. | |

VAO | NSF has asked for updated budget information which is promising for VAO startup. Planning underway for the VAO Science Council meeting to be held at GSFC at the end of March. We are tweaking the proposed VAO Program Plan in preparation for this meeting, and planning the talks. The next IVOA Interoperability workshop is coming up in May, and as always this is a busy time for standards development in preparation for this meeting (ObsTAP, SIAV2, etc.). A summary of where we stand with NRAO VAO planning was distributed to the OSO WG a few weeks ago. DT gave a Colloqium talk on VO in Socorro in late February; what with the lunch talks in CV we have brought the staff up to date on VAO at both sites. |
