...with a late addition after an exchange with Tadashi...

  1. IMPORTANT late addition:

  1. Comment from Tadashi, PanDA project lead and lead developer, this morning with regard to getting going on the SDCC PanDA instance, for which OKD test cluster resources have been provided:

  1. “Container images of panda components are not very matured except for harvester. Right now, there is no manpower in the panda team to work on the container stuff as we don't put a higher priority, so I don't expect that it will be ready in a couple of months. It would be much easier if there are VMs up and running, and panda components are installed directly there using sudo.

I (Torre) strongly second his comment (not having appreciated how different OKD based resources are). We are operating with no supported sPHENIX specific manpower. Expect to add months if we cannot implement sPHENIX on a smooth familiar path.

The sound of silence from this.

I've put NPPS status into the sPHENIX planning doc


Please review. As I say there...

SUMMARY of the status of NPPS services: they are at the stage of requiring direct and sustained sPHENIX engagement to advance them from ‘available services’ to ‘MDC2-ready sPHENIX services’.

Hi all,
Morning coffee and leadership team meeting tomorrow conflict with an important ATLAS S&C Week session, so let's do issues by email. 

Glad to see Dmitri is gradually being drawn in (I'd agree with him that he hasn't been given enough info to start yet :-). 

On PanDA, ball is in sPHENIX court I think? DOMA PanDA with Hello World Chris already did some time ago, doing it with a real sPHENIX job means sPHENIX's designated hands-on PanDA person setting up a job, and Chris has designated this person has himself for now, correct me if I'm mistaken. Kolja has offered help, Tadashi has offered help so long as he's helping people like Chris and Kolja who won't inundate him with questions. We can draw on Sergey lightly if necessary, but he's feeling overworked with Rubin.

Would be ideal (since Chris has very limited time) if Chris found a smart, proactive, self-directed sPHENIX student or postdoc to take over from him in being the sPHENIX lead for sPHENIX PanDA.
