Hi Torre,
I think Doug is a real asset and I do expect that he will represent "our" interest in sdcc. But he is part of sdcc and I think we all consider the current direction of sdcc to be a serious problem (a problem where Doug has zero influence to change anything). I do think we need a forum where we can speak frankly about pushing the interest of NP and I don't think you can expect Doug to work against the sdcc management (or better it wouldn't be fair to him for us to expect this).
But having meetings where Doug is present outside of the npps group meeting where we can speak honestly about needs and issues would be very useful.

Hi all,
I'm regularly
asked if RACF/SDCC is represented on the NPPS leadership team.
When I say no I'm sometimes asked why not. I think ideally
there would be good liaison connections in both directions. We
have our standing 'SDCC news' slot in the NPPS meeting, and
regular attendance from several SDCC people including Tony,
but since NPPS was formed the 'natural candidates' for liaison
have not been advisable ones in my view. Now perhaps that has
changed with the arrival of Doug Benjamin in SDCC. He is
certainly a friend of NPPS, attends our meetings and group
coffees of his own volition, and sees it as a goal to increase
collaboration between SDCC and NPPS. He does have an earned
bull-in-the-china-shop reputation, which can be good or bad
depending on the circumstances. He's driven by the needs of
experiments and users first and foremost.
In the early
days of NPPS planning we included a coordination team,
expanding beyond the leadership team to include a wider circle
of liaisons, but in practice this has seemed to me superfluous
given the good connections to experiments through the
leadership team -- except we miss the SDCC liaison that would
surely be included in such a body.
So finally to
the point, I'm interested in your view on making Doug a
member of the NPPS leadership team. I'm undecided myself as to
whether it's a good idea, I will really appreciate your input.
At this point all leadership team members represent part of
the activities and responsibilities of NPPS. An SDCC rep would
be different in nature as a purely liaison role, but it could
be useful to the experiments as well as NPPS to have SDCC at
the table, emphasising the role of the NPPS leadership team as
liaison to the experiments for a spectrum of S&C topics
that while focusing on software do touch on computing as well.
