[NeXus-committee] NIAC2020 and Code Camp 2020-2

[Watts Benjamin (PSI)]

Hi Everyone,

   Firstly, I will apologise for not publicising the NIAC2020 details properly on the email list. Thankfully, we were able to have some very productive discussions that were aided by Githubs organisational tools. You can review these discussions via:

  1.   The session minutes: https://www.nexusformat.org/NIAC2020minutes.html
  2.   The github project: https://github.com/nexusformat/NIAC/projects/1
  3.   The set of NIAC issues: https://github.com/nexusformat/NIAC/issues
  4.  The list of proposals brought forward for voting: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rl5tAywWW4l7wvMy-rCAg_DdwPuNCZYbYLodAQAlwO4/edit#gid=1462589617 (votes are cast by adding emojis)

The final session planned for today will begin soon (Session I at UTC21:00) and, although we have run out of planned topics, I will be present to discuss anything anyone wants to bring up. You can join the zoom meeting via https://ukri.zoom.us/j/99316368835?pwd=VU5ReGxidmdkV09MSEZMN2pUMWFBQT09 but note that this is not quite the end of NIAC2020.

A Code Camp is planned for Monday and Tuesday next week following a similar schedule of Zoom sessions that are being organised here:

<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rl5tAywWW4l7wvMy-rCAg_DdwPuNCZYbYLodAQAlwO4/edit>
Following the Code Camp, we will hold a final NIAC2020 session in which to the issues can be further discussed and the votes finalised. This is to give a chance for people who were unable to attend the Zoom session of the past 2 days a fair chance to participate. It will also provide a chance to make NIAC decisions on issues that have arisen during the Code Camp. To decide the precise date for the final NIAC2020 session, please respond to the following poll by Monday, October 19th:

The most fair time seems to be UTC 13:00, similar to when we typically have the Telcos. Note that DST will end in Europe on Oct 25th.

Cheers,
Ben
