Agenda (Primarily a getting organized meeting)

Purpose of group meeting
- Coordinate all DMS effort to support VLASS SE imaging internally and externally
Coordination/Logistics
- Track everything here or just major targets and let groups track their own deliverables and JIRA tickets (I'd prefer the latter)
  - Answer: Track effort globally for confluence and then link into JIRA via label
- Use of tags to make clearing house pages easy (ie select for all tickets in SSA/SCG/CASA/CASA-pipeline/ARDG with tag 'XXXX'
  - Answer: need a label james will come up with.
Schedule (broad strokes, need to flesh out details)
- Demonstrate 100 sq degrees via HTCondor external to pipeline by October 1st.
- VIP script implemented as pipeline by ? (would like October) (Likely Q2 FY21)
- SSA natively uses HTCondor for SE job submissions by ? (would like September or October) (Likely Q1FY21)
Pipeline
- Is the plan to make a separate task or leverage existing task
- how to manage pybdsf and other external python apps (largest concern), could use sequence manager class to iterate over tclean in different ways, may be able to use
- Can each tclean() call be checkpointed and restarted.
- Packaging question w.r.t. pipeline for external packages
- cfcache tracking is a workflow issue not a pipeline issue
- Can some external scripts be reimplemented in CASA pipeline or always externally called scripts
- Weblog completely uncertain
SSA
- Split pipeline between data selection and mstransform and imaging (should this be done in the pipeline recipe, ie hifv_splitms() or some such)
- HTCondor effort, when to start, how to coordinate, how to set up test environment (want to start in June, need to discuss what it should look like)
- How to incorporate into workflow manager vs vlass manager
- How to track SE-continuum products and their possible inclusion in SE-cube imaging (relevant in the short term, inputs to Cube need to be known so they can drive continuum products (IDs, name formats etc)
SCG
- Return to effort to create an external imaging approach with decomposition along the major/minor cycle and SPWs. Imaging with HTCondor
- Assist other groups, set up test environments
- Coordinate with CHTC NRAO-CHTC HTCondor collaboration
- Can we split the pipeline in to the PSF and MASK steps and the final imaging steps, has utility for the
