sPHENIX EMCal discussion

[Craig Woody <woody AT bnl.gov>]

Dear All,
  Having just had our Collaboration Meeting this week and with the 
Commissioning Workfest taking place Thursday and Friday, we will not 
have an EMCAL meeting this week. The next two weeks are during the 
Christmas and New Year's holidays so I suggest we don't try and meet 
during those weeks either.

  This then takes us into next year where we will be very busy be 
getting the EMCAL ready for commissioning and the start of data taking 
next spring. We of course have already started to do that, but this will 
surely continue and even intensify as we try and turn on the EMCAL and 
other detectors for the first time.

    We already have a weekly calorimeter calibration meeting on 
Tuesdays at 11:00 am that many of us have been attending and there are 
many other weekly planning meetings for the work going on in 1008. We've 
also now completed our KPPs and sPHENIX now has CD4 approval. I 
therefore don't think we need to continue our regular weekly EMCAL 
meetings so I'm not going to set up any Indico pages or Zoom links going 
into next year. However, if other people feel differently and think we 
should continue them, please let me know. But for now, at least, we will 
not have any more EMCAL meetings for the rest of this year, so please 
enjoy the holidays and some well deserved quality time with your friends 
and family and have a safe, healthy and happy holiday season.

Cheers,
Craig
