Break Out Sessions
Each session will begin with two or three 10 minute talks, which are
intended to supplement the information given in the presentations made during
the previous day. Since it is also anticipated that the commi ttee will
structure the agenda of each break out session, the speakers are expected to
address questions that the reviewers posed the evening before.
Pipelines status and development, science requirements -1 North R.
Lupton and B. Yanny - version control and development making pipelines bug
free, using photo as the example M. Subbarao - completing Spectro 1D.
D. Schlegel - completing Spectro 2D. (Blanton, Frieman, Lupton, Pier, Strauss, Subbarao,
Yanny)
Data processing operations, resources, current data distribution and
future, the science (SX), schedules and goals - WH7X-over B. Lee -
current distribution to the collaboration. A. Thakar - the problem in
distributing SX to the collaboration. D. Eisenstein - A users
perspective of SX. (Data Processing Team, Kent, Knapp, Kron, Lee,
Munn, Stoughton, Thakar). |
