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
Dear all, I think it is important that all committees have a ToR, and very happy to work with Dave and everyone to decide what this should be. I think it ought to be a relatively simple exercise but the devil is in the detail. I agree with Dave that a sensible first step is to have a discussion in the meeting about this, and then I will follow up with him. In terms of the structure of the committee, I have discussed the membership briefly with Dave, but I believe the key aspect is to make sure all the communities are suitably represented, along with other relevant aspects of Departmental computing activities. Dave has emphasised the benefits of a 'broad church' of keen participants, which I also am happy to see, but equally it is sensible to have a plan for how long people serve, and for how new/young/enthusiastic people can get the chance to participate and contribute their ideas. Dave has supplied the following membership list which I have adapted to the new community structure where possible (and I deeply apologise if I got your community affiliation wrong!): Current Membership =================== David Colling - Chair Rich Bantges - Space Plasma Climate & Deputy Chair ICT people Andy Richards - ICT Director of Research Computing. Okan Kibarolgu - ICT Director of Customer Success Ed Tech James Dunbar Physics people Brian Appelbe - Head of 1st year computing Alex Richards - Head of 2nd year computing Mark Scott & Paul Dauncey - Computational Physics Graham Axtell - Labs Kyle Major - Light Mark Neil - Light Andy Thomas - Matter Jenny Nelson - Matter Dan Whitehouse - Particles Simon Fayer - Particles Ray Beuselinck - Particles Stuart Mangles - Space Plasma Climate Andrew Jaffe - Universe Tim Evans - Universe Luke White - Dept. Operations Manager Ruth Mclauchlan - CCAP ph.ea - minute taking Overall to my mind the first impression is that the committee has a nice balance of representation. I hope I can join for the first part of tomorrow's meeting; it will be good to see everyone!

Hi All, I have a short agenda for today: 1. update from ICT - that said I am not sure who from ICT is available today. I did have a message from Okan saying that he ws free today, but then forgot that he is not on our list (something that we need to correct) so he didn't get the message that the meeting was definitely today. If there is nobody from ICT I will go over what was said at the FRCC - however it will be much better if there is somebody from ICT. 2. Our structure now that we have communities rather than groups. This will lead into ToR discussion and I hope that we can make bullet points during the meeting. These are going to be pretty wide. 3. Very linked to 2 - how we can work more collaboratively and strategically in the area of computing. I have asked Dan Whitehouse to to set up a teams meeting in our computing team (my lack of outlook account means that I cannot), and he will circulate this to the list.
