Offline A small team, working efficiently and collaborating well with LCG, is producing only “very essential” software: led to the success of the TDR performance study However with down-scoping, delaying, reprioritizing… LHCC manpower review for the core offline software The committee reviewed their manpower planning and agree with their estimates that the current shortage of core software developers is about six (6) FTEs. As a consequence of this shortfall there are a number of areas that do not receive the attention they deserve. With the additional manpower they would be able to put effort on the development and testing of the conditions database infrastructure, on user support, QA, documentation and the maintenance of the collaboration’s web pages. Collaboration will seek for help from the collaborating institutes, including CERN.

Funding balance and strategy Current funding 70.857 MCHF Current detector cost 72.734 MCHF Balance - 1.877 MCHF (2.6%) The cost-funding matrix must be revised in order to accommodate the changes caused by the reoptimization of the detector and presently available funding.
What we present now is a model we consider reasonable Two guidelines for the revision: Move CERN and Common Funds first to balance Move national funding among the already committed subsystems What we present now is a model we consider reasonable The LHCb collaboration would like to ask RRB to support the principle of shifting the funding allocations among different subsystems in agreement with the parties concerned

How to cope with missing fund? ST 211 kCHF due to the funding reduction by BMBF continue effort to reduce cost and to restore reduced funding RICH 500 kCHF due to the photon detector option continue effort to reduce cost and to search for extra funding Online 1016 kCHF CPU’s, 3158 kCHF, will be bought as late as possible (>2005) i.e. we have time to keep trying to get funding from Brazil. If still no funding available, start with a smaller number (2/3) of processors.
3) Conclusions Reoptimization of the LHCb detector successfully finished and all the detector TDR’s completed. Magnet, Calorimeters and RICH2 production advancing. VELO, Muon and Outer Tracker production just started/about to start. Cost of the reoptimized detector ~73 MCHF, ~2 MCHF less than that given in MoU, matching with the MoU funding prospect. Due to funding reduction by some countries, in spite of extra contribution from Italy, still under-funding of ~2 MCHF. However, we have a strategy to cope with it. We would like to ask RRB supporting the principle of making the necessary shifts of funding among subsystems.
