- More intense scrutiny in risk assessment next month. Especially in line with LCRs (LCR-2045, LCR-2148).
- I think we have a few risks on hardware which now are pure Ops.
- Dates — Joint (DOE/NSF) quarterly meeting in Chile April 27/28 - also AURA members rep meeting 28/29 April, Board meeting 30 April. Need to do open house (Leanne did last year).
- Directors Review week of July 20; Status Review Aug 30 (still provisional, but likely).
- Ranpal —

- Today Transients 2020 started for the week - today data rights session from four perspectives. Lively discussion . recommendations will be made.
- Potential unrest in Chile during April (referendum) - no solid plans yet from AURA/Ruben ob. Stay on mountain - go directly to the mountain.

- All contracts for summit have been rebid and accepted (same providers)
- Casino on summit - concession being recompeated 2 proposals are in. Question - why continue - could use Pachon Casino (distance and restricted schedule). We need the flexibility for probably 2 years.

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.
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.
- 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.
- RFC-666 - update of LDM-294 .. at least freshen for review season.. Leanne Guy includes SST org chart update
