Hi all,
Some quick notes from the call today:
Invitations. First 60-ish have gone out, per discussion on last call. So far we have about 20 accepts (including the organizers) and no declines. I'm updating the attendees spreadsheet in the top-level folder on Google drive.
Panels. We were talking about speakers, and we seem to have converged on two panels.
1. Facilities panel session. There's some sort of roll-up of requirements from applications (presented by one of us?), followed by a panel session with the facilities (ALCF, OLCF, NERSC, ESNet, anyone else?). We would need to iterate with the
facility folks to make sure that they agree with the roll-up. Still needs a little thinking.
2. Tech panel session. This one might have short talks from each person followed by Q&A. Tim Feldman, Bruce Jacob, and Dmitry Katramatos were suggested as panelists, possibly a DB person also (Remzi or David Andersen as a possible person from
the pool of existing invitees).
Please keep writing. We will revisit attendees next week and further discuss this panels idea.
Thanks,
Rob
