LSST 2015 Meeting - DM session planning

Reminder: All DMLT list the sessions they plan to attend (and non-DMLT if possible)

JIRA, LDM-240 updates

Jeff Kantor

T/CAMs finish working intra-WBS dependencies, KPMs.

Need to capture past milestones that are completed (S14, W15).

Kian-Tat Lim, Jeff Kantor, Kevin Long working on incorporating Level 2 Milestones and release information (goals, interfaces, input data, output data) from PMCS and LDM-240 sheet, linking JIRA Level 3 Milestones in DLP

Deadline is Aug 10, to be ready to work on them at LSST 2015.

 Another AMCL presentation will be delivered after LSST 2015 at September 3 meeting at SLAC. Several key points are to be emphasized, addressing how Level 3 Milestones are measurable, non-subjective to the maximum extent possible.

NCSA procurement amendment is signed. Need to prepare FY15 and FY16 acquisition plans. Set up discussion of OpenStack and interim outsourced solutions.

Near-term planning needs:

1. Understand what to do with "legacy infrastructure", what to modernize
2. Understand trajectory, steps to mature shared NCSA OpenStack development environment
3.  Develop FY16 infrastructure requirements, including identifying large-scale runs, "mini-productions"

Address in regular Infrastructure meetings going forward.

There is a separate ticket system (RT) in NCSA. Some work is not single-ticket oriented (e.g. recent network issue). NCSA will be liaison for LSST tickets re OpenStack. Greg Daues is POC for these while Don is out. Prefer that Greg Daues "gate" the entry to tickets into RT to retain prioritization, but not opposed to direct contact with OpenStack group once ticket is entered. Will decide over time whether this works well or needs augmentation.

(Don on vacation two weeks starting 07 Aug 2015  Working on inputting input to TOWG into EA this week.)

November 16 afternoon - November 18 morning, with T/CAM sessions November 18 afternoon.

Logistics, meals in work. Need to establish agenda.

The LSST Project Office maintains a central Contacts database that is accessible via the project.lsst.org web site. This list includes Contact information for anyone known to be associated with the LSST Project, Science Collaborations, etc. Mailing list membership can be linked to this database so that when someone is added, changes status, or leaves, their mailling list membership is automatically updated. This also allows the Project Office and subsystem managers, scientists, and engineers to ensure that communications targeted to a specific audience are routed properly.

I recently was asked to update the DM entries in the database and got input from the T/CAMs. We need to decide which mailing lists to link to the database.
