GENIUS Six-months Review Teleconf, 30th May 2014 10:00 - 11:00 CEST

The goal of this teleconference is to review the status of GENIUS after the initial 6-month set-up period. We will review the deliverables and milestones (X. Luri / L. Balaguer) and we will then do a quick review of the status of each WP (managers). Additionally, we will discuss the Vienna plenary meeting and define the GENIUS splinter meeting on Tuesday afternoon.

You can follow the telecon- https://meetings.webex.com/collabs/#/meetings/detail?uuid=M66J1IKIO8J9WKL1LXZQXB780K-48Z1

From now on we aim to have monthly teleconferences like this one to track the progress of the project.

Conclusions

• An effort to get a GREAT meeting dedicated to Gaia User Community Requirements/Cases
• Search for a formal & technical agreement of collaboration between NanoJasmine and Gaia in Validation as well as in complementarity of catalogues.
• Once the Gaia commission stage is finished and a new schedule is in place, we will proceed to formally require a delay on the relevant deliverables (Science Alerts prototypes 2-3 months probably).
