A presentation on existing instruments and software

[gully]

After yesterday's McDonald Observatory Status Update Seminar some of us agreed that information sharing on software--- what's available and what's planned---would be useful.

It seems like one preferred forum (for users) would be a talk similar to yesterday's but with slides listing the instruments and what software exists for them, limitations, etc.

Who could/would do this? @grzeimann

Hi Gully, I have a few items related to the pipeline discussion that I can add as slides, but I unfortunately could not be the lead. My money comes from the HET and there is a weird political divide that would prevent me from "officially" using my time for the McDonald pipelines. That being said, I plan on being the developer for the VIRUS-W, VIRUS-P, and VIRUS2 pipelines, so I could present on those specific instruments. I think Illa is the most closely linked to this issue as the support astronomer for MDO, but sadly because this is not a funded item, this has to be a "pro bono" effort from someone that volunteers as tribute. Cheers, Greg

Thank you @grzeimann that is helpful to know! Yes the format would likely end up having multiple speakers, like yesterday's talk, which is a good thing-- both to diffuse the burden and get some different perspectives.
