October 2023 - Physics-Departmental-Computing

Meeting on Wednesday
by David Colling 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Hi All, (cc'ing Riccardo and Jonathan in case they are interested). At short notice, it is not really surprising that there was no really good day. The only day that seems feasible at all is Wednesday (maybe those who can not make it can send deputies?). I have booked 532 - teams coords to come. As well as the usual update from ICT, the two things that I want us to discuss are: 1. what structure do we want in now that we have moved to communities 2. how we can collaborate more in this area. 1. might lead to a discussion about whether or not we want to write down terms of references. This committee has existed since the dawn of time - well long before I came to Imperial and any terms of reference that we might once have had have been long lost. We are in the process of updating the FRCC ToR and that has been only been going for a few years. Any other items of business are welcome obviously. Best, david

Hi All, As I said yesterday we had an FRCC today and we should have a follow up meeting. Ihave a busy teaching schedule at the moment so can only do Tues/Wednes/Friday next week. I have set up a doodle poll to see if this works for enough people - if it doesn't I will come up with plan B. The doodle poll is at: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/egk7rBZe Best, david

FRCC tomorrow
by David Colling 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Dear All, As you know, I usually have our Physics meeting the week before the FoNS FRCC - I have failed to arrange this time as the FRCC is tomorrow. So if you can please send me any concerns that you want addressed or positive suggestions then I can bring these up at the meeting and report back. I then suggest that we meet one lunchtime next week (I will set up a doodle this afternoon). The two "unusual" items on the agenda of the FRCC are: - Communicating computing matters in the different departments. - How might we work more collectively - collaborations (big data, ML etc) and how can we build a coherent view of what we want collectively. Which I think would be valid discussions in our departmental meetings as well - if you have any ideas on these then please let me know. Best, david
