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.
Clear there is no info on JDR, no agenda no charge - assume JSR agenda.
JSR website will have agenda today.
Call for a more "where we are with science" talk from Steve - not sure if DM needs to proved some input (where are we with PSF/Deblending and/or other metrics?).
Should have a couple of slides on the status of algorithms; Leanne Guywill provide these.
Expect we should be ready to provide a demo, but may not be called upon to actually do so.
M2 coating and AuxTel will be in contention - careful planning needed (Specifically Roberto/Mario).
ComCam safely in clean room in Tucson. Not unwrapped yet .. all shock load sensors ok. Visually looks ok.
Next steps .. replace window plate with L3 plate, then into shop for metreology and alignment - probably until end of Aug. Switch on Sept.
Fatality on Kitt peak - general public accident on public road, individual had visited kitt peak. Staff responded. Name has not been released.
Media interactions.
Please note the Media Interaction Policy and make use of the Communications Office if & when you are contacted by members of the media.
And please make sure members of your teams are aware of the above.
Leanne Guy— provide a couple of slides on the status of algorithms & DM science for the JDR.
May be some uncertainty around the future of SUIT milestones given scope changes. However, we should capture the original intent of these milestones as created, so that we can properly decide how to handle them going forward.

Community broker workshop was held last week from 19-21 June at the Sheraton in Seattle.
It was a huge success!
About 55 participants from the project, science collaborations and 15 Broker LOI and 3 LONI teams
The goal of the workshop was to bring together all parties to brainstorm directions forward for building a global ecosystem of brokers, science platforms, and target and observation managers (TOMs) for transient science with the LSST alert stream.
Some excellent demos from prototype brokers on ZTF alerts
Presentations will be made available
Lots of very positive feedback already, survey feedback form being sent out today
Kian-Tat Lim Convene a meeting with Colin, Tim, Robert, Yusra to resolve graph generation with per-dataset quantities (likely based on Consolidated DB work).
