Notes and Comments

WG co-meetings
Executive summary for FAs
Exisitng documents and we should use these
Ideas on community and national commonalities
Want a good balance from each country

Thinking of the FAs is important
Focus on the skills needed, and the costs of that
Think about what can be shared - e.g., gitlab
How much hardware do we need? Back that up
Maybe FAs think software is free?

Ecology - harwdare environmental costs
FAIR - photon/neutron physics datasets increase a lot
How do we define software quality? What are the indicators
- Helmholtz, EVERSE
- Mattias Kretz working on this

ET coputng and data requirenents are in perp. Address sustainabiliy as well. Programminlg langauges are not magic bullets. Understand roles and expertise.
