Minutes

• 15B
  • PST
    • Printing Issues. JenPlank replaced the remaining bits of old code that we think is causing many of these problems and released it to webtest. Some initial tests by RickLively indicated an improvement but there still appeared to be some load issues. Further investigation is required.
    • Review Items. One SRP page item is complete and on webtest; one TAC page item remains.
  • PHT. No action until the printing issue is resolved.
  • Technical Reviews. No issues thus far. MarkClaussen will ping the Socorro folks. BarryClark has proposed a different format for the cues and default response. We will discuss this for 16A.
  • Science Reviews. All but a couple SRP chairs have declared their conflicts. No major issues this week except printing. One large GBT proposal in EGS has only two reviewers. The plan is to use additional (3) reviewers from other panels (offline) and send this info to the EGS chair.
  • External Technical Reviews. Four joint Swift/NRAO and three joint HST/NRAO proposals that will be reviewed by NRAO were sent out for external review. We should receive these by 6 March. We received Fermi/NRAO joint proposals that will be reviewed by Fermi for technical review. MarkClaussen and ToneyMinter will get these reviewed by mid-March.
  • SRP Telecons. All of the Doodle polls have been completed and JessicaUtley will attempt to schedule these telecon periods by the next couple of days.

• AOB
  • CAS. ALMA is now using single-sign-on level 2 that connects to my.nrao.edu. Therefore the printing issues, that cause memory leaks, could effect ALMA. StephanWitz is discussing these issues with the relevant folks at ALMA.
  • 16A. ClaireChandler noted that we need to start thinking about 16A. We should have requirements for all TTA tools to the software group by the end of March. We agree to discuss (and prioritize) items on our TTA meeting of 26 March. We do not expect too many changes but a couple of issues: (1) if we add another joint telescope we need to redo this code; and (2) this may be the last CfP for GBT and VLBA.
