> Hi Sami!
<smaisala> Hi Jerome. I think we should wait for a while. END
> Yes. Let us wait for NJW and Peter. END
*** peter (~pkretsch@crab.unige.ch) has joined channel #jemxadr
<peter> Hi there - sorry for the delay. Crab went down (again) over lunch. END
*** njw (~njw@uhuru.dsri.dk) has joined channel #jemxadr
> Hello Peter!
<peter> So where is our most favorite British collaboratrice? END
* njw Hello END
> Yes we saw that problem. END
> Hello NJW. There is only us four today. CAO is just gone to the cinema to see 
The lord of the Rings
> END
<smaisala> That sounds much more interesting! END
<peter> So are you keeping a log Jrme? Or you, Niels Jrgen?
<peter> END
> Yes I am doing. END
> CAO would like me to push everyone to report about his current AIs... END
<njw> AI 26.12 on NJW: Signif. maps : I'm working on that one and I should be
<njw> able to make it before this year runs out END
<peter> That's good news. END
<njw> AI 27.15 on NJW: SCREW to use the agreed upon flux units. Didn't you do 
that
<njw> Peter ?? Else I'll do it today END
<peter> I _think_ I did - let me check ... END
<njw> I have no other imminent actions (I think) END
<njw> Who's next ?? END
> Sami, how about you? END
<smaisala> I have only one AI which is write a SCREW of the corrupted INDEX 
tables. I'll do it today. END
<njw> Peter, what about you ? END
<njw> Jrme, do you have some actions END
<peter> I'll answer in a minute ... END
> Ok, my turn then.
> I have AI 27.5: New Xe resolution for SVR. This is has consisted to update 
the
> relevant figures instead. The real work has still to be done, but as the SVR 
> is sent now, this has a lower priority...
> I will do it as soon as possible next year.
> AI 27.11: Update mosaic s/w... I am sorry I have not done that yet, but I 
think 
> I have a rather good excuse. It is because I have spent time to analyse a new 
source
> I have found in revolution 41, during what we thought was empty fields 
observations
> Remember Sami?
> I can tell you about this later if you like.
> Then there is AI 27.13: Make a data template for midisky images made
> by image_mosaic. I actually do not remember that one and I do not know what 
it is about...
<peter> See with Niels - he spent some time with Roland Walter early in the 
month. END
> Yes sure. END
> I guess it was all from my side. END
<peter> OK, my part ...
<peter> AI27.17 - the GRS 1915+105 position in our reference catalog differs by 
~20" in R.A. from that in SIMBAD.
<peter> In Dec the difference is negligible. I've asked the catalog people and 
Jrme Rodriguez to investigate. END
<peter> That should close the AI.
<peter> My other AIs are for spring.
<peter> With respect to NJW's question before - it seems I did not enter a 
SCREW for the fluxes after all ... END
<njw> Alright, I'll do it END
> OK. What next on the agenda? END
<peter> AOB, or my proposal "information flow".
> Go ahead. END
* njw Let's take yours, then END
<peter> This is triggered by a visit from Arvind Parmar. He commented that he 
had very little visibility on what was going on for JEM-X H/W, on-board S/W, 
calibration ...
<peter> I realized that to a large extent this is true for me and probably for 
most of us not directly at DSRI.
<peter> We do get the updates at our SDAST meetings and sometimes important 
issues, but we do not really know if something is coming up on this side.
<peter> Getting such information would be very useful, on the other hand.
<peter> Now, I'm __not__ advocating formal reports or anything like that, but 
would like to see if we can get a few more semi-regular information tidbits 
spread around.
<peter> You do have these regular(?) JEM-X meetings at DSRI, don't you?
<njw> That's right END
> Yes, every monday. END
<peter> Would it be possible to circulate _brief_ summaries of what was 
discussed within the SDAST mailing list? END
<peter> I really mean something like a bullet list of topics and a few words if 
something interesting came up. END
<peter> Or do these meetings have formal minutes somewhere? END
> May I ask: does one get this kind of info from other teams? END
<njw> That must be possible, I'll initiate that at the next meeting. We dont 
have
<njw> minutes, just a quicly made agenda. END
<peter> Yes, thought so and I don't want to add any formality - except for a 
short write-up at the end. That could actually be useful even for you guys 
yourself. END
> Yes, you are right! END
<peter> Do you think you could add Astrid to the list of recipients or is this 
to "private"? END
<njw> Certainly; there is not much private, anyway, that could be filtered out 
END
<peter> Very good. Actually, we could also try to have the "headlines" of what 
was concluded in our chat meetings in the summary email that Carol Anne usually 
sends around. END
> I will tell her. END
<njw> AOB ?
<peter> She'll love to hear about additional effort :-) Let's see if she 
manages to free herself from the power of the One Ring again and work for JEM-X 
:-) :-) 
<peter> No OB from me. 
> NOB from me too. END
<smaisala> No. END
<njw> Let's say goodbye, then: Goodbye
*** njw has left channel #jemxadr : (njw)
<smaisala> Goodbye. END
<peter> So I guess this is the moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas!
*** Signoff: smaisala (Leaving)
> Then let us say good bye!
<peter> Bye!
*** Signoff: peter (ircII/tkirc)
