[Brian Quinn]

Dear SBS collaborators,

We will have our next regular weekly meeting on Wednesday in
room F226 of CC.

            ** Note ** If you haven't done so, please send me your
            milestone list today! (see message attached below)

Time: 11:00-12:30

US 866-740-1260
International 303-248-0285

Access code: 9335626 (#)

LISA/EVO/SeeVogh: "SBS_general", code "a1n"

The subjects of the meeting will rotate among the SBS topics:
the experiments, the detectors and other equipment, manpower, funding,
new ideas and other items important to our collaboration.


Agenda:

Nov. 20: All, Review of milestone lists for off-project components
          Bogdan Wojtsekowski, Brief update on ECal

Nov. 27: No meeting, day before Thanksgiving.

Dec. 4: Mark Jones, Plans for ECal UV-curing tests, inventory and testing.
         Evaristo Cisbani, Update on front tracker (and
            testing/assembly of new GEM foils)

Dec. 11: Nilanga Liyanage, Update on UVA GEMs and FNAL tests
          & TBD

    As usual, it would be helpful if presenters could send their slides to
John LeRose (preferably PDF perhaps also PPT) to have them posted on the
collaboration web site before the meeting.  Presentations can also be 
shown on EVO/SeeVogh.

          Thanks,
          Brian

Subject: [Sbs] Please read: Milestones for off-program components

Dear SBS collaborators,

      As discussed at yesterday's SBS collaboration weekly meeting, the
DOE review committee has asked for a list of milestones for the
off-program components (and for the scintillator Coordinate Detector).
We added two more off-program items (Timing Hodoscope and FastBus
DAQ).  These need to be incorporated with the SBS program milestones and 
reported to DOE by Jan. 1.

     Here is a list of the projects, with a the names of people I'm asking 
to take responsibility for assembling a list of milestones:

           Front tracker  --  Evaristo Cisbani
           3He target  --  Gordon Cates
           HCal-J  --  Gregg Franklin
           GRINCH  --  Todd Averett
           Segmented Timing Hodoscope - John Annand
           ECal -- Bogdan Wojtsekowski
           Coordinate Detector  --  Mahbub Khandaker
           FastBus DAQ -- Alex Camsonne

    We will go over first drafts of these lists in the weekly meeting and/or 
the CC meeting on Wednesday Nov. 20.  If your name is given for a 
component, please prepare a list of milestones and projected dates (in 
consultation with the other people and other institutions involved) and 
send a first draft to me by 5pm Tuesday.  A simple text list in an email 
would be fine.

    The names assigned for each project are certainly NOT intended to 
neglect the fact that other collaborators and other institutions are 
playing important roles in the components.  It was necessary to ask one 
person to take responsibility for preparing each list.  If the person 
named is unable to undertake the task in this short time-frame or just 
thinks someone else would a more appropriate choice, I ask that you find a 
suitable alternate who will agree to undertake the responsibility and that 
you let me know who.

      The milestones need not describe details of the steps of the activity, 
but should contain enough points of reference so it will be possible for 
the committee to judge whether we are on schedule.  Also, it should give 
time estimates for any dates which are important for interfacing with the 
SBS project and other off-project components. Bogdan suggests this 
guideline:  one milestone should be a completion date (a little before the 
component is needed), another should be a short-term milestone which you 
expect to reach by next August, or before, so the next DOE review can 
judge progress.  With one or two intermediate milestones, that should do 
it.

    		Thanks,
    		Brian
