NPPS Leadership Team

Hong's comments to me on Eric's plan...

                It is considered inevitable that RACF as part of SDCC will leave Physics, because of the new computing facility, the lab’s plan for expanding computing, and Eric’s view of future.   Forming NPPS is to counterbalance it, so that there is a home for software development in Physics.  Your concern over SDCC expanding into software is valid.    We should certainly manage this risk.     I hope we have the advantage of you as the NPPS group leader, as opposed to the other organization with leaders who are eager to depart.

 

                It is not clear how it will work out in the near future for RACF.  Berndt hoped that by agreeing to move RACF out of Physics to NPP as a Center, it will at least remain in NPP.  But this has caused other complications.   We will see whether the plan will converge or not next week.
