  1. Management Committee Summary • Effort at CERN • Operational Tasks • Cost Sharing and New Expenses • ZDC Collaboration • Management roles • Papers, Conferences and Author Lists • Mailing Lists • Upcoming Meetings • Upgrade • Dates of Upcoming Meetings Quite long, but mostly routine. I will highlight problems and actions Management Committee Summary

  2. Effort at CERN/Operational TasksCost Sharing • Plenty of manpower at CERN • No immediate prospect of major departures • More students and others arriving • Need to be more efficient about sharing out ‘experienced’ resident tasks • Calibration runs, routine checking • Operational task accounting • OTSMOU figures for 2009 finalized • Initial 2010 estimate done, needs input and (small) updates • Will continue with current on-calls and duties, but may evolve with experience • Very little operational expenditure • 1 new DCS PC • Cost sharing still very even • Need to follow-up on status of extra monitoring PC purchase • Upgrade expenditure to be reported to (refocused) Resource Committee Management Committee Summary

  3. ZDC/Management Roles • ZDC working and paid for • But they need more PPMs eventually • Maintenance (both H/W and effort) still a worry • Reiteration of recent changes and plans • Steve appointed as ‘Project Dogsbody’ until 31st September 2011 • Division of Upgrade reponsibilities • Norman: Overall coordination and contact • Jim: Simulation • Andrei: MCM upgrade • Sam: Phase I architecture • Murrough: Phase II architecture • Still need new Documentation chief Management Committee Summary

  4. Papers and Conferences • Recent conference contributions • John Morris, TWEPP, calibration (TDAQ authorship) • Felix Muller, TWEPP, input tester (reduced authorship) • Even for these papers, rules are getting more formal • Will be even tougher for papers with ATLAS authorship • Upcoming Conferences: • IEEE Realtime: Lisbon 24th – 28th May, abstract deadline 28th February • TWEPP: Aachen 20th – 24th September • Further backup publications need to be finished • Digital processor • Preprocessor • Software • Steve will request updates to TDAQ authorship Management Committee Summary

  5. Mailing Lists • Number and purpose (and naming) of L1Calo mailing list has become unwieldy • Proposed simplification • All mailing lists maintained at CERN • Merge some related lists (software, calibration, cern) • New naming convention (via aliases) • l1calo@cern.ch • l1calo-operation@cern.ch • l1calo-upgrade@cern.ch • Steve will circulate more details before implementation • We should also try using other communication techniques • Sharepoint • Savannah Management Committee Summary

  6. Upgrade • Little to add to Norman’s summary • Discussion of Phase I ‘partitioning’ • Design not finalized • Architecture needs to become more concrete • However, it is clear some options might cause problems for effort sharing between institutes/funding bodies • In particular, can’t divide one main ‘Topological Processor’ Board • Need to increase communication with L1Muon (and CTP) • Same is true for Operation Management Committee Summary

  7. Upcoming Meetings • Weekly meetings continue • Lengthen to include more recent work if needed • General meetings convert to focused (technical?) sessions • Jim and Sam organising Upgrade meetings • Next Joint Meetings • CERN, 5th – 7th May • Subsequentone has several question marks • Probably late September or late October • Probably at CERN • Probably more Upgrade emphasis • May be ‘Joint’ with L1Muon and CTP • Two important meetings next week • Monday 18th – TDAQ Open Meeting • Tuesday 19th – ATLAS Open EB • Both with include talks from Hans-Christian Management Committee Summary
