Agenda#

  • Previous Action Items

  • Nabil has access to ACCESS, so we can start using that. He needs to understand how to use it though.

  • Volunteer Policy - Please sign by Dec. 15th - 2 out of 5 received from the committee

Notes#

  • We have access to ACCESS. - We need to work out how to give out access to projects and to what projects are asked. - Nabil recalls a survey which was sent out and will try to find it.

  • AVS Benchmarking Costs - Addo has created a document which he will share with AstroPy. - Nabil suggested at those prices to look at other cloud platforms which provide dedicated servers for less.

  • Nabil will be stepping down from the committee at the end of the year. He is not engaging with the open-source community anymore and feels it is best to have someone who is active within the broader community.

Action items#

  • Upload meeting notes to repo Nabil Freij

  • Create an issue template for ACCESS to help Alex and others manage on numfocus/infrastructure Nabil Freij

  • Find which projects wanted ACCESS access and contact them to give them accounts Nabil Freij

  • Figure out how to renew the project as I don’t think we will use all the credits in time. No cost extension? Might be worth emailing Alex about it. Nabil Freij

  • Give Addo access to ACCESS Nabil Freij
