Dear all
I apologise for earlier stroppiness!
I have been speaking to Sarah, John and Paul. What is it we need to meet
for? Are there big decisions that we all need to be there to make? If we
meet in London it will be without JKL; if we meet in York it will be
without Jill. So wherever we meet, we won't all be there anyway.
Personally I have almost nothing to report anyway. Everyone else seems
fraught with exams and general end-of-term stuff and then the impending
ICPhS papers.
I wonder if it would be more valuable for us to work at our own sites
instead, and to spend the day (or days, Mon and Tues) on ProSynth things.
For me this would save time (4-5 hours' travelling) and York money
(another £150 out of our already severely depleted budget).
This way I would be able to make progress on the CSL paper, and could eg.
phone Jill and Sarah to discuss additions, corrrections, amendments to the
paper. Paul has a lot of things to report; but they can probably be
equally well done electronically. Again, if Mark or Sebastian wanted to
talk to Paul about our (still rather primitive but nonetheless
functioning!) timing code (which he could send out very soon) and his
progress report, then there's the telephone. We could make appointments
with each other today and tomorrow if we felt that was necessary.
Other issues that we identify could be passed round today/tomorrow, and we
could put them on our personal agendas for next week, and again consider
using a phone call or a fax to sort them out.
There is also the matter of "actions" from the previous meeting. We could
all check on Mon/Tues (i) what we were meant to do (ii) that we did it
(iii) and if we didn't, do it.
I hope this is a useful suggestion (it originates with Sarah) -- it's up
to UCL people to say whether they think it will work for them.
How about our next date? The location could be San Francisco. There's no
programme on Weds. -- maybe we could meet in the morning? Or on Saturday
after the closing of the conference? Or one evening after the sessions
finish at 6.30?
