Hi sPHENIX colleagues,

Here are a few announcements and reminders related to physics approvals as we head closer to the Quark Matter conference: 

* We have two Preliminary physics results approvals in the next two days: 

PPG-08 dijets in p+p, Wednesday 10:30am BNL time, https://indico.bnl.gov/event/27347/ 

PPG-12 isolated photons in p+p, Thursday 11am BNL time, https://indico.bnl.gov/event/27350/ 

* Two draft conference notes are currently circulating: 

PPG-04 underlying event in Au+Au, comment deadline this Friday, https://sphenix-invenio.sdcc.bnl.gov/records/dfgeh-d6p63 

PPG-09 inclusive jets in p+p, comment deadline this Thursday, https://sphenix-invenio.sdcc.bnl.gov/records/00nre-xdn68 

(Links to all draft IANs and conference notes are available at https://wiki.sphenix.bnl.gov/index.php/AnalysisTracking ) 

* We will not hold what would be our normally scheduled Physics Coordination Meeting this Friday.

* For those at BNL, Run Coordinator Rosi Reed is arranging a Start of the Run Taco Party, this Friday 28 March, at 12pm in 1008 [1]

* Next week, we have a pre-QM week agenda for further physics and performance approvals, talk rehearsals, etc. The Indico page (still under development with the specific agenda) is here: https://indico.bnl.gov/event/26857/ 

Dennis, for the SP team
