DMLT Meeting Goals

  • Weekly meeting to keep the DM leadership team coordinated, informed, and in agreement on the vision, priorities, and challenges facing DM construction, including surfacing and resolving issues and ambiguities needing our attention. The goal of this meeting is to provide information and decisions that help each one of us better direct our own (or our team's) activities.

Discussion Items

Guidelines: Propose items in line with the meeting rationale (see above); include as much information in the agenda notes; summarize, don't go into details while on the call; maximize time available for discussion.

Notes

AdminWil O'Mullane
  • Wil O'Mullane — Distribute e-mail address for contacting admins.  
Project updates
  • Was going to be about shutdown but now we are ok for another 3 weeks. 
  • Still contingency is very tight. Need to examine budgets carefully. Will get tighter as we get to the end of the project.
    • Worth emphasizing that “we are not in trouble” — we still have adequate contingency, we just need to make sure we are appropriately frugal.
  • Estimate to Complete has been refreshed every six months for the last couple of years. Moving forward, this will be every month.
  • New news digest coming out soon.
  • AIV/Commissioning workshop week of Feb 25th in Tucson. Issue based specific time with selected periods; Chuck pushing for specific decisions and plans.
  • ESNET - how do we pay for it.. this an up front cost which will reduce ops costs. 
Risk ManagementWil O'Mullane

Now that risks are in Jira, I have assigned some risks to some people. You should:

  • Asses the risk status at least every 2 months (i.e. cost or probability change ?)
    • Please notify Wil O'Mullane when you make changes, so he can discuss them with the Risk Review Board.
  • Specifically look at the trigger date and see if it is sensible.
  • The risk meeting is tomorrow - DM is up - we will be quized on residual risk exposure.
  • Ask if you are unsure - I would like to make DMLT but especially T/CAMs aware of the risk process and part of it.
Next DMLT F2FJohn Swinbank
  • Is four weeks away.
  • And will be remote.
  • Check on the status of the agenda.
  • Discuss the working hours of this meeting: 09:00 to 14:30 Pacific was suggested on Slack. Are we happy with that?
    • Yes.
  • All DMLT — provide suggestions for 2019 DM “swag”.  
DM-CCBWil O'Mullane
  • The reconstituted DM-CCB met for the first time on 2019-01-15.
  • We discussed the goals and responsibilities of the DM-CCB; these are summarised on Confluence and in LDM-294 (see RFC-561 - Getting issue details... STATUS ).
  • We expect the DM-CCB to be proactive in engaging with the RFC process.
Middleware demoFritz Mueller
  • End-of-January middleware demo coming up shortly... Fritz Mueller will enlighten us as to the details.
  • Demo will be Friday of this week at 12:30 Pacific.
Science Platform managementWil O'Mullane
  • A coordination and responsibility issue with LSP was raised from various quarters.
  • Frossie has been asked to CAM the LSP
  • LDM-294 needs an update to cover that (though now I realize we did not update for Butler/Supertask .. which was  to be shorter term )
  • Note that there will be a regular “Science Platform Standup” following the Monday DMLT call.
  • Wil O'Mullane — Update LDM-294 to reflect Science Platform and Butler/SuperTask management.  
Jira issue prioritiesWil O'Mullane
  • To date, we document no semantics associated with the Jira issue priorities (“blocker”, “critical”, etc).
    • Various folks have used them to indicate things they think are particularly important and/or annoying, but in no organized way.
  • Should we? Is this related to how we should relate to the Commissioning Team or other activities on the mountain?
  • NB do not confuse the “blocker” issue priority with the “blocking” relationship between issues!
  • All DMLT — Provide Wil O'Mullane with opinions on issue priorities.  
QAWGWil O'Mullane
  • DMTN-085 is out and on the agenda for our F2F .. many actions are implied come prepared.
  • John Swinbank — Make sure QAWG discussion at DMLT F2F has enough time and is at an appropriate level of granularity to be actionable.
