Notes:
When we are happy with this meeting page, we can link it from the top-level meetings page and then circulate.
Suggest we show slides but link these into this page after the meeting.
It needs to be clear what we are asking them
- quick free form comments on some of the below
- suggestions for what to prioritise for full discussion at next meeting
- but also a few specific questions (do you think X or Y?)
The topics below are a great start but too complicated for a 50 min total discussion.. need to headline them, and turn them into questions
...
Dan will be convener with Xingue as deputy
Check that Iair is OK with that
How to join multiple transient surveys
Plans for next meeting (Andy: 10 mins)
Users meeting in Oxford Dec 9 with LUG meeting
Looks like Dan can edit the meeting pages
