ACTION ITEMS:
* SCSC members to decide on the time slot. Is Thursday 3PM OK?
* Henry to check with Pixar
* Igor to check with Anton Barty - since from Germany collaborating with LCLS: it's not clear that he will be here at the end of April/Early May, then we might use him as a "Joker" in between regular talks. UPDATE Mar 9 (Thanks Igor): Anton is interested in giving a talk, but won't be here late May/early June. Quoting Anton: "Our next round of experiments at LCLS will be in late June (I'm scheduled to leave LCLS before July 3). I don't think there's any reason for me to be over SLAC way before then."
* Arno: Wait for feedback from SCSC members, then contact the first few speakers
