When: 2023 March 14-17 (waning gibbous moon)
Where: Club La Serena, Summit, and Recinto.
There are many nearby restaurants. Recommendations include:
- Lemongrass (Thai)
- Desde La Raiz (Vegan)
- El Fogón (Peruvian)
- Bombo Burger (Chillean fast food - try Chorrillana, fries with adornments)
- Tasty Mary (Chilean)
- 45min walk - Bakulic - but its very good
What: Block Agenda
Why:
- Share what everyone plans to tweak, investigate, fix during commissioning so that we can find schedule, data collection optimizations, and triage faster when we start getting LSSTCam images.
- Get DM people together in Chile with a chance to see the Summit and understand the hardware components, what can go wrong with them, and how that would impact the image quality
- Discuss issues across DM and Commissioning
- Show progress and share ideas from all over DM
- Arrange specific side meetings with other subsystems aligned with interfaces
How:
- Packing list: https://project.lsst.org/sites/default/files/Visiting%20Cerro%20Pachon_2.pdf
- Presentation slides: Wed Feb 22nd What To Expect slides from Ranpal and Alysha
- See Updated travel info from from Erin: Travel- General
- In particular, how to book your own flight if you need:
If family or spouses are traveling, the employee must make their own reservations, along with their family/spouse. We will reimburse for the employee only. Make sure the employee is aware of the Fly America Act and will need to either Slack or email the planned flights and pricing to me prior to their final purchase. I need to confirm, on the same day as the reservation has been made, that our pricing is the same and that they are adhering to the Rubin Travel Procedure. There is no record of airline ticket pricing history to refer to for comparison, so if this process is not followed, no reimbursement will be given.

| Organized By | What | |
|---|---|---|
| John Parejko | Guided climbing trip | Comment from Margaux Lopez: In my apartment in La Serena I have ~4 extra harnesses and a ton of extra climbing shoes of various sizes, two ropes, a 7-seater car, and a bunch of local climbing friends so I'm happy to lend gear and/or help out with this - Climbing organizing is happening on the #climbing channel on slack, for those who were not already invited and want to join. |

| See the night sky away from La Serena lights (for everyone who can't do Pachon overnight) | ||
