Not all groups were able to attend the meeting. The comments in the minutes were from those that did attend; any inaccuracies are my own. The main intention was to see whether any common interests would emerge, such as trying to obtain cost effective licensing deals on a departmental basis for Mathematica. You final comment pretty much sums up the intent of the first meeting...to decide what we are meant to be doing. Ray On Sat, 14 Nov 2009, Dave Clements wrote:
Quick question...
I was unable to attend this meeting as I was already committed to something else. I note that there are various reports from research groups, but not all groups are represented. Am I meant to report from astro as well as first year lab? If so, I can supply a report at some future date. But what about other groups not represented - SPAT, Theory etc.?
I guess I'm not yet sure what this committee is meant to be doing...
Cheers!
