sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi I thought this should be obvious, but just in case:  of course this 
workshop is intended to be held virtually-- probably regardless of what 
happens with BNL opening...

> Hello Sphenix,

> We anticipate some new folks, especially graduate and undergraduate
> students to be joining sphenix this summer and we at the same time have a
> number of areas with a keen need  for help on various projects related to
> software, calibrations, simulations, etc.  As an example see presentations 
> in
> various forums like the general meeting related to our calibrations task 
> force-
> -there are many tasks with a short scope matching well to summer projects--
> and I'm sure there many more in other groups.  To help with this situation 
> we
> are planning to hold a "SPHENIX Summer Projects Workshop".  This will be a
> ~one day, virtual, workfest-like collection of sphenix tutorials, physics
> introductions, and updates aimed at those new to sphenix and others
> working on software,computing, and detector projects. The purpose is to
> provide a focal point for getting summer projects on sphenix underway.
> Given the approach of the Hard Probes conference, we thought trying to
> hold it sooner than that conference would not be very popular, so for now
> we are trying to set a day for this the week immediately after Hard Probes
> June ~8-12.
> 
> Perhaps we will coordinate this a little bit globally more soon (stay tuned 
> for
> more emails on the subject), but for starters,  in order to help us pick the
> best day, anyone who might have some interest in attending or having their
> group members attend, please fill out the following whenisgood.net poll:

> 
> Please choose which days would work best for your schedule, and feel free
> to send me feedback on suggestions related to this idea--especially if your
> group has an interest in helping sphenix accomplish some tasks this summer.
> (Please note, we are requesting you at least include your institution name,
> probably first and last name would be helpful.)
