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.

5minNews & progress over the past week
  • Director's Review: slide fine-tuning still OK. TCAMs: be available if you can via HipChat during breakout sessions (Thursday)
  • Next DMLT is Oct 5-7 at UW; there is an asteroid related workshop there also on Oct 3-4
  • Starting to work on contract renewals
  • Libby ramping up. Initially will help with keeping up to date DM Calendars, DM Meetings page, DM team spreadsheet and picture page, collecting monthly status reports, DMLT weekly meeting pages/notes, onboarding, action items. perhaps with keeping activities in JIRA in the future
  • compiling list of "builders" (for publications), through DM Team spreadsheet; Libby has added current list to spreadsheet; there is a provision for adding builders who have been with the project for less than 2 years but are integral to the process
  • Proposing to have per-team travel/vacation calendars, visible to all in DM, with TCAMs responsible for updating with Libby's help
  • Construction Development - no update but TCAMs are starting the planning process; Jacek met with Kevin Long and obtained some templates; over the next few weeks we will start working on this; target date is mid-August for JIRA loads

No update

10minRequests for participation in new activities
  • Commissioning planning (activity led by Chuck)
    • Asked to look at FDR-era commissioning plan (http://ls.st/lse-79), identify issues
    • Asked to identify DM people to represent DM concerns in commissioning plan development
      • Likely to need to be involved: KTL, ZI (?)
      • Need to assess the impact this will have on subsystem work
      • These will need to be in the commissioning workshop in August
    • Provide a summary assessment of where DM will be on Oct 1st 2019 (what we enter commissioning with)
    • Asked to have all of the above ready by the AHM
  • Euclid-LSST joint processing possibility
    • Spurred by the Project+DESC, we're asked to participate in examination of the feasibility of join processing of LSST and Euclid data. The goal is to understand how LSST science would benefit from additions from Euclid, and what are the technical consequences of such a change.
    • Initially involved: RHL, Andy Connolly, MJ. We can delegate as required.
    • Asked to produce a "Joint Processing Document" paper by Oct/Nov
    • Deadline for initial contributions to it by August 1st
  • Constructing the builders list
    • Asked to deliver DM's builders list ASAP (driven by SPIE submission deadlines)
    • Have an initial list to work from from the ADASS 2015 DM paper
    • Libby has added current list to DM Team spreadsheet; there is a provision for adding builders who have been with the project for less than 2 years but are integral to the process
10 minDM portion of LSST-2016
10minVerification review
  • Upcoming verification review (agencies driven) scheduled for January 2016
    • Chuck needs 1-2 names from DM (K-T? Don? Gregory?)
  • Internal verification review still scheduled for November
  • mini workshop organized by Chuck on Monday at AHM (who represents DM? Mario? Gregory? K-T? Note we have TCAM mtg that Monday)
  • Chuck needs a matrix (rows = services, groups of columns = sites (L Serena, NCSA, IN2P3, Tucson), cells = key milestone dates) before 8/15 mtg
  • we need to help update LSE-79 commissioning doc, can happen after August
4 minTCT

There is a disconnect on who is on TCT

  • should be like CCB - make recommendations to subsystem lead
  • recommending body, not final decision maker
  • membership should be 5 other top level DM management not subsystem lead
  • regular meetings to be scheduled - KT is chair
  • update the doc describing the TCT - Kian-Tat Lim

DMLT Travel & Availability This Week

Postponed for subsequent DMLT / proposed for future DMLT:

TimeItemWhoNotes

Overdue RFCs
5minUpdates re recent Nebula activity & processes
  • Lessons learned from the Nebula security incident
5minDM source code license policy
  • Proposal is to move to the BSD license, in line Jim Bosch's proposal in DM-5031 - Enable external code contributions To Do and the series of comments that followed.
    • Postponed: no time to discuss

Status of unhandled work/technical debt.
  • Following discussion at the May DMLT, Jim Bosch filed tickets describing some technical debt issues.
  • There may be other work in danger of falling through cracks: Jim is probably not infallible.
  • Identifying and assigning this work is necessary for producing resource loaded plans.
