- Accommodation: the RDA organisers have made an arrangement for the meeting
participants at the The Croke Park Hotel, Jones Road, Dublin 3 (For details
please lookup https://www.rd-alliance.org/plenary3/accommodation.html). Note: if you are interested you may hurry up. The hotel is already nearly
booked out.
- Agenda, topics to cover:
Umbrella address updater
Affiliation database
Umbrella issue handler
MoU and operational agreement
Applications linked to Umbrella (ICAT, Moonshot, ...)
...
These topics are quite similar to those covered at the last Umbrella meeting at the
ESRF
in Jan of this year. There, we had detailed discussions in a somewhat smaller
circle and it is time now to discuss the outcome in plenary discussions and to
come to conclusions.
At the ESRF meeting it turned out to be extremely helpful that we had strong
participation from our friends from the facility user offices. Hopefully, this will be
the case also at the upcoming Dublin meeting, so that we can expect fruitful
discussions between IT experts and user-office practitioners.
Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting,
Mirjam, Bjoern, Heinz J
