  • When is a good time?
• Speakers are preparing presentations on the SLAC common platform (Marcio Donadio: TID) as well as science IT infrastructure (Amedeo Perazzo: TID) for early Feb.
  • Amedeo: server and networking hardware currently in use, centralized computing infrastructure and status (central services like NFS, authentication, EPICS archiver, data analysis and storage pipelines), monitoring infrastructure.
• LCLS controls roadmap
  • Raincheck, need one more cycle to complete this. Ready next week.
• Review and collectively understand the MEC-U operations vision/story and subsequently the requirements for the control systems
  
  • For next time, I'd like each of us to pick something we think is important, critical, or should be a thing to focus on about the control system to share in this meeting.
    • Consider your experience in building control systems, and what you think needs to be a focus in MEC-U.
