Ivan Andrian (Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A.)

Highlights, lessons learned, plans for the future.

Pre-TM Highlights

From RSCM reports

  • Higher load than theoretically needed
  • SPMS operations frequently need intervention
    • Deployment
    • Synchronisation
    • Oracle Updates
  • When the conf is over, all links to the SPMS are to be removed (ACTION!)
  • SPMS Development slow - lower resources
  • ORCID/DOI - working on permalinks & references
  • Acrobat DC - updated documentation needed (ACTION NEEDED!)
  • Indico/SPMS
    • sub-working groups on features and tests
    • beta_01 will be used for next TM

JACoW Sustainability

  • Risks to JACoW were last analysed in 2010
  • Identify JACoW's aims and goals and evaluate the probability that they will not be achieved

Probability P

RiskAssigned for
1Unlikely, <10%
2Possible, <20% to 50%
3Likely, >60%
4Highly probable, >80%

Impact I

RiskAssigned for
1Negligible impact
2Moderate impact - delay on delivery
3Major impact on delivery of objective - delay and/or additional resource requirement
4Severe impact leading to partial delivery and/or additional resource requirement
5Catastrophic impact - failure to reach goal

Conclusions

  • ☼► publication of new proceedings: high
    • More and more interest in our proceedings, so this is getting hot
    Also, to correctly finish a set of proceedings is not so easy
  • ▲ JPSP-related
    • one man show up to now, no longterm succession
  • ▲ SPMS-related
    • one man show up to now, no longterm succession
    • RSC sysadmin and support load is high
  • ▼ running the collaboration still high
    • BoD structure helps
    • base of collaboration, high impact
  • ∆ JACoW Experts availability
    • the value is in our people, if we cannot meet and educate this is getting tough

First impressions of this TM

  • New structure paid off
  • Very fruitful
  • Working groups sessions: Welcome!
  • Thanks to everybody for the contributions!
