- NSF visit good
- office space La Serena - not enough and not efficiently used
- FY23 starts - amendments not yet approved but could be done this week
- Ops contracts language for software not same as construction. Double check the IP language in your contracts and make sure it matches construction phasing, WOM/FE chasing up Contracts
- Flights still expensive - overestimate TRs (its better than under estimate)

Commissioning the Commissioning Cluster on Cerro Pachón
- Cristián Silva at the f2f we agreed to expand Yagan, we need to know by how much
- Robert Lupton we never set up antu as the commissioning cluster - antu now gone
- Gregory Dubois-Felsmann to clarify yagan is where rapid processing will run
- Currently Parsl over SLURM at USDF .. may be more flexible for Yagan than PanDA
- Colin Slater this will create a difference between summit and USDF
- Rapid processing is same system as prompt processing which is what is running at the IDF which is neither PanDA nor Parsl/SLURM
- Question to Paul Price and James Chiang as to whether Parsl has the same capabilities as HTCondor in BPS (at present and in the future) — need to enumerate missing capabilities.
- Current USDF HTCondor is "personal" only — Expertise at NCSA available to help stand up HTCondor as a service at USDF
- Likely can run batch system on Kubernetes-managed nodes, not necessarily bare metal, need to confirm; Robert Lupton and Gregory Dubois-Felsmann do not need to verify performance on Kubernetes at this point, only functionality; Steve Pietrowicz will confirm that HTCondor can run on Kubernetes; Richard Dubois will determine if Parsl/SLURM can run on Kubernetes
- Current number of cores in yagan (now that antu has been moved) should be quite sufficient for near-term Rapid Processing
