> Hello Chaps! I'm glad to `see' so many of you here. Sorry about not sending
> the agenda yesterday - I was off with my daughter all of Tuesday which
> threw me into a real mess! END
<peter> Well forgive you - tentatively ;-) END
<larsson> Welcome to the mess CA! END
<peter> (That should have been: We'll ...)
> Allan can't join us because of a visiting journalist, and I'll ring Sami now
> - he probably won't be in yet, so we'd better start on the agenda soon END
> no answer on the phone so let's start without him end
> First, any more comments on the common parameter names: I've had some
> from Peter, what about the rest of you, would you like the URL to browse

> `bitch-n-moan' comment END
<njw> I've had a look at them some days ago and I had no objections END
> any more comments? END
<larsson> Sorry, no CA. END
> On to the CVS repository: unfortunately, the simple instructions I had
<peter> I assume, you will implement my comments then. END
> just don't seem to be doing what the manual claims they will do: which
> means now I have to delve into the BIG manual, and that's taking
> some time. I'll let you know when CVS is ready for use. It could be
> today or tomorrow, or next week. Yes, Peter, I'll do a tidy up, including
>  your suggestions when I'm sure I've got feedback from  everyone. END
<peter> Regarding CVS: I have a little experience and may be able to answer a few specific questions (via email). END
> If there are no more comments, we'll quickly run through the AI list.
> Thanks for the offer Peter - I'm working blind here - our only `expert'
<larsson> CA, I will send you my parameter comments tomorrow. END
> left 2 years ago. END
> Actually, most of the outstanding/due AIs are on myself, Sami and Allan,
> so perhaps there isn't much to discuss, and I should get onto Sami
> directly by email. NJW: how is the calibration document coming along?END
<njw> Not really started yet, but there's still hope for a start this month END
> Okay, we'll leave your AI open until the first draft of the document.
> I've still not found out about slewing data: the instrument people are
> somewhat hard to get hold of at the moment. NJW and I will meet with
> Soeren next week, and I'll put the question of slew data on the agenda:
> along with QLA wishes (another longterm AI!). END
> That just about covers the AI's. Any comments? How is V3 DD going - esp.
> those of you who have to code interactive tools? END
<larsson> (No comment) EN
<peter> I have no such task END
> Nor me - thank heavens! END
> Okay, if there's no more to discuss, let's make our next chat meeting
> Tuesday 5th December - that'll give some of us time to set up CVS
<larsson> OK. 
> repositories and clear off some of our AI's (!!!), and discuss the
<peter> Seems reasonable to me. END
> upcoming consortium meeting. How many of you will be at that meeting?END
<peter> I'll be there :-) END
<njw> Before we leave, I'd like to confirm the dates and times of our January SDAST
<njw> meeting. I'll be at the ISDC consoritum meeting. END
<larsson> Me no.
> QLA will be afternoon of MOnday 8th January, and SDAST meeting will be
<peter> January should work for me, it's on my last days (presumably) of working for Tbingen. END
<njw> The QLA meeting will be the 8th of Jan. starting when ? END
> tuesday 9th January.
> QLA will start late morning or after lunch, we only need an afternoon,
> but perhaps Peter would like to arrive earlier because he and I and
> Soeren need to discuss the OSM tool for OEMs and one or two other
> matters that slip my mind at themoment. END
> Will just one day be enough for SDAST meeting? We need a thorough 
<peter> I had hoped to discuss the OSM questions earlier than that. around the Consortium Meeting or so. END
> discussion of interactive background, and maybe performance monitoring
> as well. END
> And what about the instrument telemetry data base - shall we discuss
> that at the consortium meeting. END
<peter> Telemtry database: yes, at the Cons. Meeting. END
> Yes, it would be nice to get  these things out of the way. END
<peter> SDAST meeting: One day would be enough, if we can concentrate just on these issues and start early, and finish not too early, e.g. 9:00-17:30 END
> Sounds good Peter. END
<peter> What about the rest of you guys? END
> Okay, so we'll see everyone at DSRI on Tuesday January 9th 9.00 to 17.30

> That sounds like a very worthy ambition Peter.END
> By the way: Stefan have you delivered your source extraction executables
> yet? END
<larsson> Those are the ones1 END
<peter> Today should see at least one of them delivered. There were quite a few interface changes
> Oh we're not talking about your V3 executables being readied for delivery??? END
<larsson> my what????????
<peter> i.e. the instrument model data should not be part of the SWG, etc, etc. END
<peter> Which V3 executables? END
> Just kidding ! END
<larsson> Puuuuu. END
