Re: [Collab] FW: Manpower for run

Yesterday we tested out the SKYPE features for remote interaction and I think it looks like at least one way to have a remote shift taker easily interact with the person onsite. We have a permanent microphone for the barrack and we intend to purchase some speakers. The current SKYPE account

at PSI is

mulanatpsi

When I tried to call the account from my laptop it failed until my name was entered as a contact person on the mulanatpsi SKYPE account. Once my SKYPE account was a valid contact the text windows and the voice transmissions worked great. So I think we will need to add the contact names

of people who want to use this method.

During the period of low manpower (6 to 4 peopel) Aug 28- Sept 15 I would be more than willing to be assigned regular shifts. For me the time period that would work best is

5:00 JMU time 11:00 PSI time

9:00 JMU time 3:00 PSI time

I would be available to take this 4 hour shift on any day and I would assume it would make sense to schedule people for several consecutive days.

Cheers

Kevin

Folks,

      As you are all aware, we have achieved good and stable running conditions for MuLan and we are in "production" mode. We aim to have a "Systematics Error Week" around the 3rd week of September and preparations and mini-studies are in progress. We encourage you to make suggestions and participate.

      Attached (and printed below) is the now-known schedule of manpower for on-site running in Sept. I asked Peter Winter to prepare this from what we know because there is an evident gap in around the 9 - 13th when very few people will be onsite. Please, if you can alter your plans or help out with shifts, this would be a good time. Also, if there are omissions, please reply to all here so others won't "panic."   I know Rob is coming back and Kevin Lynch is coming back, both for a number of weeks. Neither is listed yet. Others ?

      Finally, you may have noticed that Dan Chitwood prepared an eLog on how to run a remote shift -- and, he has done it already. I believe this will be our best method to patch the holes. So, if you can't travel, but can put in a coherent 4-hour block of shift taking from remote, please volunteer. That way, the on-site people can take a break. They will have cell phones of course for you to call for operator interventions.

      Let me let everyone have a chance to think about this and then we can discuss it at tomorrow's (Friday's) meetings.

      Regards,

      Dave
