Minutes

1. More comments on RL's requirements list.
   • Gianni Raffi proposes that the relative priorities should be included. Some of the issues might nor be really important to commissionning / first years of operation.
2. Progress on writing Use Cases on Observing Modes
   • The current list of groups.
   • Rein Warmels has provided read access to the BSCW area to all SSR members. See his e-mail message.
   • Work has started or is about to be started in some of the groups. Please come to the Berkeley Meeting with drafts to be discussed !
3. Practical issues concerning Berkeley Meeting
   • The Use Case group (Gareth, Dirk, Joe) will meet on Oct 10/11; the plan is to use the RAL conference room , 635 Campbell Hall. You will need to get the key from Janet, 631 Campbell Hall.
   • The software working group (SSR) is small enough that we can also hold the meetings in Campbell Hall rather than on the Clark Kerr campus. Thursday morning 9am - meet at room 635 Campbell Hall.
   • how to find Campbell Hall.
4. Issues to be inserted in Berkeley meeting agenda
   • Review the requirements for relative priorities.
5. Additional issues:
   • We have again discussed a little the question of data rates (see also e-mails exchanged before and after the meeting). Clearly the option of recording both corrected and uncorrected data comes in addition of the average 3Mb/s average rate. Steve Scott will write a summary on Data Rates.

Action Items
