IRIS-HEP Institute Retreat
The IRIS-HEP software institute has recently completed its first year after being funded by the National Science Foundation. During this first year the project team has been formed and ramp-up activities have taken place in all of the institute focus areas. The goals of the retreat are:
- To take stock of progress during the first year and make plans for activities during the second year
- To identify additional opportunities for cross-area synergies within the institute and external collaborations, and make plans to build on these opportunities
- To prepare for two NSF reviews covering the initial "Design Phase" of the institute (in Fall 2019 and in Spring 2020)

Discussion session for an integrated Data Lake Demonstration / data challenge.
- 10min from Brian on vision behind this challenge.
- Which of the DOMA, AS, and SSL projects should be involved?
- What are demonstrable goals to hit in a challenge (PB transferred? sites involved? billions of events analyzed?)?
- What resources can we use? Which are "SSL" versus a real facility?
- What are the timelines and milestones to the data challenge? -
