[b1_ana] LiD, Tensor Workshop Discussions, and Moving Forward

Good morning,

I think a lot of this conversation shows why a meeting this week is a 
good idea -- to re-evaluate where we are after the tensor workshop, and 
to focus on how we can use the resources available to meet the 
challenges of making a b1 measurement a reality.

I've set up a SeeVogh (http://research.seevogh.com) meeting for us for 
Thursday the 17th. You can join in either through the web at 
http://research.seevogh.com/join?meeting=M2MvMB2D2IDDDs9e9iDM92 using 
your JLab log-in or by calling in.

The call-in information is:
+1 626 395 2112
Phone Bridge ID: 690 1745

As per usual, please feel free to update any agenda items to 
https://hallcweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Working_Meetings

Take care,
Ellie
