Sci Comp Systems projects - Shirley Gruber
The CD Scientific Systems Groups (internally) keeps a list of projects and this list was presented to the SCSC in order to educate, give the possibilities of exploring commonalities, get feedback on other possible projects and to start a dialog on prioritization in a resource constrained environment.
Some 61 activities were listed. Shirley will (and has) grouped them where possible. Comments are due back for the next SCSC meeting (Aug 22).
