Discussion included a question why NPP was asked for the early retirement benefits (SSVSP). Answer is to create the possibility of job (re)placement (move HEP people elsewhere where there is a leave if skills match) and create a budget need drop (younger hire, lower cost). The decision of Physics was to do this as an "integrated approach" and not target HEP alone.
Michael agreed to discuss and describe his work as requested on the last slide. Also had a brief viewpoint on the ticket system usage comparing Light Source to STAR. Overall, works fine (Light Source - all is in a ticket; in STAR more of a "project" oriented).
Personal note: Comments well inline with meeting "Fact based" comparison (slide 8).
There were no other volunteer to speak of their work.
Victor brought that the interactive nodes are still slow + all users may be able to log onto the low number (Yuri seeing peole submitting jobs from there).
