  • Next message: Tony Spadafora: "Revised SCP agenda"

    SCP Collaborators,

    A preliminary agenda for the SCP collaboration meeting this week is
    below. We're still revising this and the current version is available
    on the TWiki
    http://supernova.lbl.gov:8080/twiki/bin/view/Main/AgendaJuly05

    There are two main topics for this meeting: the Subaru 2002 SNe
    analysis and preparations for the HST cluster search which is now
    getting started. The format will be working group sessions, combining
    presentations with discussions on analysis and strategy questions. If
    you'd like to have a presentation added to the agenda, please let me
    know. (There will be time to add talks on the spot as well.)

    Thursday will focus on the Subaru dataset - reviewing the status of the
    analysis, what remains to be done, and a discussion of plans for
    publication. Friday will focus on the HST cluster search.

    If you'd like to post slides, please put them on the TWiki page
    http://supernova.lbl.gov:8080/twiki/bin/view/Main/AnalysisNotesJuly05
    (or send them to me.)

    For those calling in, the SCP Dial-in number is 510-486-7555. This
    works at any time. If no answer, send e-mail. If you need 1-800
    access, please let me know and we'll set up a specific call-in time.

    A preliminary attendance list is at
    http://supernova.lbl.gov:8080/twiki/bin/view/Main/AttendanceListJuly05
      (also below). Please let me of additions (or deletions). Also, we're
    organizing a dinner at a nearby restaurant for Thursday evening.
    Please sign up on that page or let me know if you'll be able to join
    us.

    Regards,
    -Tony
