1) Exchange meeting with S&C - Jerome/Gene 
Convener S&C Exchange meeting 201810.pdf

PWGC questions collected before the meeting: 

- Run18 calibration status
- Data/picoDst/embedding production status and projection
- PID
 performance in embedding
- PDSF retirement: where to store embedding samples currently on PDSF
- Fine tuning of new talk upload interface: how conveners deal with duplicated entries, title of the notification email (STAR presentation submitted by -> Oral/poster presentation submitted by), comment by interface
- Review of the KFParticle package for possible inclusion into official STAR library
