[Dsg-engineering] today's agenda

[Mary Ann Antonioli]

One comment on the Wednesday meeting. This began as a meeting to discuss what work we did in the past week. Not sure if that is the purpose any more, but that is what I keep in mind when I do the report.

Hi Amrit,

I think I need some clarification on the scope of each meeting:

Monday - Phoebus (where we discuss all things Phoebus)
Tuesday - Engineering (where we discuss hardware - plans, testing, and issues)
Wednesday - General (we discuss all projects and other administrative topics)
Thursday - SICOM (where we discuss simulations and software - plans, testing, and issues)

Each meeting, with the exception of the Wednesday meeting, was supposed to be a "working meeting" wherein we work through problems or workout upcoming plans to move projects forward. More informal...

Is this not the case anymore?
Do we need to make a slide for each project for every meeting, or just the Engineering meeting?

Thanks,
Aaron

One should mentally prepare for a meeting and spend a few minutes collecting one's thoughts about what one is going to say in the meeting. Appears to me, we don't do it. Because all meetings look like a question and answer session. At the end of the meeting, the key people should keep a personal record so that at the start of the next meeting they can refresh everyone's memory, including their own.  In essence, we don't know what we are going to say and what we have said previously. Bless our hearts.

This is the reason for the agenda. Listing the topics in the agenda helps give the persons who are going to talk about the topic advance notice to collect their thoughts (most important to least important). Much like a shopping list which one generates by the route which one plans to take in the store.

Starting today for the meeting, we start making a slide on each topic which lists what we are going to talk about. Should help with the minutes as well. Since we have only 4 projects the slides should be on ALERT, ECAL, Moller,  and Phoebus.

Let us pitch additional topics, for one it bugs me and for another, it sounds as if we are in a knitting club. If there are additional items to talk about, I'm sure the individuals who want to mention them will remember if not it wasn't important.
