RHEL-8 conversions in Socorro:
we may need to fully switch to workspaces sooner than expected. Number of simultaneous jobs may be an issue, need to discuss with DAs and SSA to perhaps change the limit.
SSA will start looking into upgrading NGAS to allow more threads but timescale would be ~ months.
Baseline correction bug found in CASA/pipeline when x and y correction is zero and z is non-zero.
Bug has been present since 2010.
Impact is small, only applies to data taken before correction put into system.
Decided to not do a patch release, but will temporarily add an inconsequential x correction to the 64 entries in the baseline table until the CASA fix is out in the fall.
VLASS
Observing going well apart from a few failed EBs due to weather. QL calibration and imaging under way.
Polarization cube demo release being prepared.
AAS ABQ 4th-8th June, special session and workshop deadline 31st Jan, looks like SSG is leaning towards a splinter session, which has a later deadline (TBD).
