2. Actions/Effort at CERN/ Operational Tasks/Cost Sharing Actions – Many achieved (OTSMOU, Monitoring PCs, Lists: mail and author, Lab Move) – Still need to sort of air-conditioning for Test Lab (Bruce?) Effort at CERN – Some dedicated CERN residents need to start moving over to physics – Nevertheless no immediate problem, and more students/RAs expected – Need to be more efficient about sharing out Point 1 tasks Operational tasks and shifts – Recent change from category I/II to class 1-3 – Class 1 are ACR shifts This move will increase pressure on institutes to fill their quota Cost sharing and new expenditures – Very little recent expenditure – Backplane Tester needs may require Upgrade cost-sharing exercise to start 07/05/2010Management Committee Summary2

3. ZDC/Management Roles/ Papers + Conferences ZDC (mostly) working and paid for – But they need more PPMs eventually Management Roles – Martin takes over from Rainer on calibration Thanks to Rainer, and good luck in the e/gamma group – Still need new Documentation chief Paper, Conferences – Taylor already gone to CALOR2010, David going to IEEE-RealTime Approval process is ‘bedding-in’: still rather heavy – Three abstracts submitted to TWEPP – Any other plans/suggestions? – Little (no) progress on PPM and Digital backup papers Set a deadline of end of May for new draft to be circulated 07/05/2010Management Committee Summary3

4. Upgrade As always, difficult to summarize – Though Sam made a brave attempt yesterday Previous discussion of Phase I ‘partitioning’ now probably redundant! – Now even more doubt about what we actually need to do MSU is starting to discuss funding for CMM++ development – Agreement that this is a good development – The process of ATLAS approval might take some effort! Reminder: next TDAQ week has much Upgrade Discussion 07/05/2010Management Committee Summary4

5. Reminder of Mailing Lists Simplification in January – All mailing lists maintained at CERN – Merge some related lists (software, calibration, cern) – New naming convention (via aliases) l1calo-all@cern.ch l1calo-operation@cern.ch l1calo-upgrade@cern.ch Notes on usage: – l1calo-all is ‘private’ to L1Calo – operation and upgrade include non-L1Calo members We haven’t yet seriously tried to use, eg: – Sharepoint – Savannah 07/05/2010Management Committee Summary5

6. Upcoming Meetings Weekly meetings continue General meetings haven’t been happening – Maybe we will revive as technical meetings, if things ever calm down Regular (approximately 1 month) Upgrade meetings Next Joint Meetings – CERN, week of 13 th – 17 th September Will have an ‘Upgrade’ flavour May try to combine with a larger Level-1 Upgrade meeting – Spring 2011: QMUL or Cambridge – Summer 2011: Stockholm 07/05/2010Management Committee Summary6 dates/locations to be confirmed
