Dear All, I hope that you are all having a wonderful break - I am - and I apologise for sending a work email in the middle of it. As you know we tend to have a Physics Computing Meeting in the week leading up to the the FoNS Researsh Computing Meeting (FRCC). The next FRCC is on 11th Jan 2023 so I have set up a doodle poll for the week leading up to this. As you know we tend to have the Physics Computing meetings at lunch time. The doodle poll is at: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dJy4zP9b I have invited Ingrid because one of the items I want on the agenda is managed devices. Nothing has caused so much consternation amongst the user community for many years but I think that we are reaching a good conclusion. Please send me suggestions for other agenda items - I have some in mind but I am sure that there are others. One last thing, something that Andrew brought up at the end of the last meeting. We know the dates of the FRCCs for the rest of the academic year. In the past I have have put up doodle polls for the dates of our meetings only a week or two in advance of the FRCC. My thinking was that people would best know their availability at that stage. I could easily either put up doodle polls now for future meetings or even simply set the dates of the Physics meetings (say) 1 week before the FRCCs. The reason that I haven't done so in the past is that those of us in large collaborations often have meetings that cause clashes introduced at a few weeks notice, however these appear to still cause problems even with the approach that I current approach. Anyway, I would welcome people's opinions as how best to organise things in the future. Happy New Year to all! Best, david
