Agenda

• News

• Program Administration
  • DA search status Amy Kimball 
    • 29 qualifying applications, committee meeting next week. Will do a round of interviews then invite people for a site visit to whom we are likely to make an offer.
  • Relative priorities of VLASS items: QL cal/imaging, SE imaging automation, etc.
    • Needs some thought, but one possibility would be to work on SE automation during the "lull" between B and BnA in April/May if we are not too far behind on QL.
  • Possibility of cross-training DAs between sites.
    • Still would be useful to have some VLA training for NAASC DAs. Tony R said he would talk to Phil and Erica.
  • DOIs for VLASS Memos (and other NRAO Memos), eventually for data collections too - discuss with library? - AI on ML to talk to Tony R and Lance
• Project Management
  • How to add capabilities ("SRDP 2.0") as part of the transition plan to operations.
• RADIAL update
  • From meeting with Jennifer - UPRM trying to work out how to deal with power issues, Morgan State working on their bid, also University of Virgin Islands. Likely all 3 can be funded.
• Science Ready Data Products
  •  Problems with VLA imaging halted the imaging for about 1 week. Traced to interaction between CASA memory checks and "glide-in" jobs. Two DSOC nodes moved to HTC (so now 3 non-VLASS HTC nodes). Issue with glide-in memory now resolved so imaging operations fully resumed.
    • Amy will set up meeting to discuss allocations of nodes, HTC/Slurm/Torque etc.
  • New NGAS settings for ALMA AAT jobs were not updated by SSA leading to a ~1 week of "silent failures" for ALMA/AAT downloads/restores.
  • Emmanuel wants to make things more efficient for the DAs processing non-SRDP data
    • Getting rid of CIPL and having everything go through workspaces
      • Probably possible with WS2.9
    • Considering not having DAs look at non-SRDP data at all (or at least a very minimalistic check)
      • Some checks can reveal issues with the telescope though.
    • Emails to users with regard to non-SRDP data would be automatic with workspaces?
      • QA pass emails are sent for non-SRDP automatically, but not QA fail -
