June 28/29
Location - Conference Room at ALEPH pit
Wednesday a.m. Project planning, quality control, web, Java (WORD)
Wednesday p.m. Data Management, event model, conditions DB, bookkeeping (WORD)
Thursday a.m. GRID, simulation (generators, GiGa, migration plan) (WORD)
The goal of this meeting is to plan the next phase in our programme of work covering the next 12-18 months. Several topics will be covered with the aim of defining the strategy for tackling each one and describing the tasks to be performed. In addition we will also attempt to set priorities and assign the people who will work on them. The output of the meeting should resemble a draft workplan.
The idea for the format is to have discussion and brainstorming. However preparation is needed for each topic to start the discussion with a proposal of the basic options and to suggest a strategy. The people responsible for preparing each item are indicated on the agenda. Relevant material should be prepared in advance and circulated to participants before the meeting, if possible.
The outcome of the meeting will be presented during the next Software Week on Friday July 7th. The input received will be used to finalise the work programme for presentation to the entire collaboration in Milano.
The meeting will be held using the meeting room at the ALEPH pit and lunch will be organised on both days. All those interested in participating are welcome but please let John Harvey know if you wish to participate in lunch on both days.
