[Hps] Coming to HPS Software Workshop? PLEASE RESPOND NOW!

[Stuart Fegan]

Hi John,

As I said in the meeting, I'd be very interested in attending any 
proposed workshop, and dedicating some real time to advancing my own 
tasks on the software effort, as well as keeping on top of ECal 
coordination duties.  A thought did occur to me regarding the format 
though; in the time since the last workshop, a lot of us who were new to 
the software back then have made great progress, perhaps to the extent 
where we really just need to be in the same time zone to get feedback on 
why what we're working on doesn't work, how to fix it, and why doing it 
in the way that didn't work was never appropriate.
Being able to do that face-to-face would be even better, but we may not 
need the large group format from the previous workshop.  What about a 
drop-in format in parallel to the CLAS meeting, if the lab can 
accommodate us?  I know several of us have engagements at the CLAS 
meeting too, but a lot of those working on software, particularly 
students, would likely be able to fit in any CLAS talks of interest 
around an appropriately arranged workshop.

Cheers,
Stuart

The purpose is to provide real working time with the experts, to bring those new to the software toward real mastery and to make headway on important software projects.  The Software Workshop following the recent  SLAC Collaboration meeting provided a strong start for many collaborators new to slic and lcsim and was judged very useful.
