1. Scope of the workshop

2. Cross-experiment discussions • There are very useful regular conferences like PIXEL • However it is clear these conferences have also to cover new and future projects • Sometimes the existing and running experiments may not have enough time to go through the details of the operational experience • In addition the typical presentation at a conference would not go via problems more than necessary • We all know how good are all our detectors, but the aim of the workshop is to see where we fail and where we can do better in a open and honest way

3. Rules • Try to avoid entering in endless discussions • Nobody feels bad if we will cut: free coffees, chocolate and flowers will repair the offenses if needed • Avoid using acronyms • We have a project of a cross-experiment glossary: in progress • Try not to be shy in asking questions or proposing improvements: this is for the benefit of all and ideas are welcome. Don’t have prejudices • Help in noting down the suggested improvements

4. Coffee breaks and more • Coffee breaks need to be gained • endless discussions and coffee breaks are not working together • As a backup I have a reservation for a small room on Friday afternoon, in case there would be important discussions that need an immediate follow up • I reserved a Pixel Fondue at the “Café de Mategnin” please let me know if you’re attending by the coffee break (if any) via e-mail • Price ~40-45 CHF (depending on wine consumption) all inclusive: viande sechée, fondue, dessert, water and wine. Starting time 19:30
