New subject: Merry Christmas, BICEP2! Team meeting this week Friday (28 Dec 2012) 2pm Eastern
Dear all,
BICEP2 is warming up for Christmas! Congratulations to the whole team on completing
3 years of run 8. To those at Pole, to those up north, and to those in between,
especially Steff!--well done, and I hope we all enjoy the holiday.
As we discussed we'll have a brief phone call this week on Friday for those who
can join. I propose 2 hours later than our normal B2 team call:
Friday 28 Dec 2012
11:00 am Pacific, 2:00 eastern, 8:00am Pole
Phone: 1-866-890-3820 (toll: 1-334-323-7229) Passcode:59702175
We'll discuss the BICEP2 wrap-up at Pole, division of work for final
calibrations analysis, and then have a bispud pipeline telecon.
happy holidays,
John

New subject: Reminder: BICEP2 Team meeting this week Friday (28 Dec 2012) 2pm Eastern
Hi all,
A reminder that we will have a BICEP2 team telecon and bispud pipeline
telecon
tomorrow, Friday at 11:00am Pacific, 2:00pm eastern, 8:00am Pole.
We'll briefly review the BICEP2 wrap-up at Pole, division of work for final
calibrations analysis, and then have a bispud pipeline telecon.
We will NOT have a telecon next Tuesday (Jan 1), so tomorrow will be our
last
call until Jan 8.

New subject: Reminder: BICEP2 Team meeting this week Today (28 Dec 2012) 2pm Eastern -- 10 minutes
One last reminder of our out-of-cycle BICEP2 call, 10 minutes from now:
Friday 28 Dec 2012
11:00 am Pacific, 2:00 eastern, 8:00am Pole
Phone: 1-866-890-3820 (toll: 1-334-323-7229) Passcode:59702175
Our agenda will depend partly on who joins, but what I'd like to cover is:
- BICEP2 wrap-up at Pole
report on B2 opening
updates to online logbook
hand-carrying data north
- division of work for final calibrations analysis
review FTS posting
how to organize efforts toward "final reports"
on B2 instrument characterization
- bispud pipeline telecon.
postings from Jamie T on tile orientation jack, abscal variation sim
priorities for coming weeks
other agenda items as proposed by Clem

New subject: BICEP2 Team meeting tomorrow (8 Jan 2013) noon Eastern - organizing B2 reports
Hi all,
We will have our first BICEP2 team meeting of the new year back at our
usual time tomorrow:
Tuesday 8 Jan 2013
9:00 am Pacific, 12:00 eastern, 6:00am Pole
Phone: 1-866-890-3820 (toll: 1-334-323-7229) Passcode:59702175
BICEP2 operations are complete. We'll be reorienting these meetings
toward organizing our efforts to produce and publish results. As we
discussed in our last (28 Dec) meeting, we'll be starting to match
individuals with assignments for "final reports" on B2 sub-threads on
reduction and instrument characterization. These are an evolution of
the threads we started outlining in November.
On the B2 analysis call today Walt volunteered to start a separate index
page for these reports, which we see as roughly mapping into sections of
papers. Proposed guidelines:
1. unlike logbook postings, these documents get edited and updated
until we publish
2. each report connects the topic to what is needed for the B2
science results--what final numbers or tests are needed, and why
3. provide an overview of tasks remaining
4. summarize (with links) work done in postings, and where
appropriate summarize the existing B2 data.
5. Format can be either html or google doc
Example report topics:
- thermal systematics
- magnetic systematics
- spectral response
- temporal transfer function
- RPS-derived polarization chi's and epsilons
- pol cal consistency checks from Yukical / pixel polrasters
- far sidelobes
...
To drive this forward we need your buy-in both on format and
assignments. Thread coordinators, please think about topics within your
threads that need reports. Those who can't join tomorrow, send feedback
and/or offers to take assignments.
Tomorrow we'll agree on format, organization of topics under threads,
and initial assignments. Walt will continue this process on next
Tuesday's meeting (I'll be in transit). For future meetings I hope we
can schedule reviews of specific reports.
John
