29 qualifying applications, committee meeting nextweek. 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 - WS-1168

Getting issue details...STATUS
VLASS
AAS ABQ splinter session being planned.
May need more than minimal IT support if we are doing demos etc
SSG preparing Roman surveys input.
346 VLASS3.1 images archived so far. Latency ~20d.
CIRADA QL Ep2 catalog available, also 1100 deg^2 SE catalog.
