Viz on the mountain

RHL reports problems with Firefly on the mountain

  • I am not sure I expected firefly on the mountain
  • Were we evaluating Ginga / js9 as alternatives for more DM debug work?

Discussion:

  • Firefly is the best tool DM has for use on the mountain.
  • Nevertheless, not everybody expected to see it in use like this.
  • Making sure Nublado is available on the mountain will help alleviate these issues.
  • Some bug fixes are already being worked on, and that will continue, but resources at IPAC are limited.
  • Some requests are for work that are not funded through the existing plan.
  •  Yusra AlSayyad — get the Image Display WG report published before the upcoming DMLT vF2F.  
  •  John Swinbank — add a discussion of image display to the vF2F agenda.  
Supporting AuxTel activities

Suggestion of an auxtel-critical label that we review daily.

Frossie Economou suggests that a check-box would be better. Agreed to do that.

  •  Frossie Economou — add a “critical for upcoming observing” checkbox to the DM Jira project.  
DMLT vF2F
  • The next DMLT face-to-face meeting will be virtual (ie, on BlueJeans), and will take place from 25 to 27 February (ie in four weeks).
  • Note previously incorrectly advertised as 24 through 27; sorry for any confusion.
  • Details are on this Confluence page.
  • Please add your suggested agenda items to that page by 10 February.
CCB
  • RFC-666 - update of LDM-294 .. at least freshen for review season.. Leanne Guy includes SST org chart update
