15:00 → 15:10 Meeting room(s)

513 1-024 has been reserved for Friday afternoon.

31-S-028 (capacity 30) has been reserved for all of Friday

We urgently need meeting rooms for the other sessions!

Previous meetings (where I can see) had 40-50 registered attendees!

For the agenda itself, I would start by dividing into 4 half days, each of which has two sessions (before / after coffee).

I would start with DASPOS + 4-vector stuff + CMS CSC + Rivet (1 half day) - should we invite Leif Lonnblad or someone else?

We need to have a serious discussion about what we want to see in an EU Horizon 2020 project - the next DPHEP workshop (see later) will simply be far too late.

This is IMHO one session, perhaps the one after coffee in the afternoon of the first day.

I'd like to see if we can get a report back from the "last-gasp LEP data archive volunteer group" and also have a discussion on what we request / require from the HEPiX community.

That is probably the first day filled.

I would like to see some discussion on the idea of storing (was storage) AIPs as XML documents in Invenio - even if only as a stop-gap solution until we get some marvellous tool from another community, if one actually exists.

I would also like a discussion on what I call "the crux of the problem" in the ICFA draft report.

I guess that these two would take at least the first part of the morning of the 2nd day.

• I would suggest to get someone from the TH community and/or the LHC community comment on the value of likelihood publishing-cum-preservation, as a "quick win" to get re-use of material, and reproducibility of some level of results. This sits around Level-2, and is something easy to explain to political masters (read more bang-for-bucks). Copying Kyle here
• I think it is valuable to get a snapshot of the ongoing thinking (and pain points) that CMS is unveiling in trying to set up their workflows. Copying Kati here.
• An overview on practices on identifiers (for people and software) as basis for preservation has emerged from the SciencePad workshop at CERN last week... maybe we ask Alberto (di Meglio) to give a summary of the talks there? We're not talking much of concretely putting software somewhere linked/citeable, and linking/citing is an incentive for folks to preserve/share after all...
• We could show (again? we did it in Marseille) how INSPIRE and HEPdata have integrated, and how we can create (or federate) repositories of non-textual material which has industry-standard persistent identifiers. If this is of interest for DASPOS we can help.

15:50 → 16:10 Comments from David

Just a small comment, that I don't see anything explicit on the agenda about the active, pre-LHC experiments here - the ones that formed the backbone of the publication last year. I guess this comes under "The Crux of the Problem", in terms of technological solutions that are being implemented such as those at DESY and SLAC? Although it's true that maybe there is not so much to add since Marseille, let's see what happens.
