Re: GlueX electronics workshop

["C. Cuevas" <cuevas@jlab.org>]

Hi,

Second agenda revision looks fine. 

The vendors are obviously interested in our requirements, and recent 
discussions with several vendors reveal that they are interested in 
collaborating on designs as well as supporting the manufacturing of 
production units.   I agree that it is not the best timing to invite all 
the vendors, and we can discuss vendor involvement during the commercial 
options time slot.

I have talked with John Musson and he agreed to present the techniques 
used in the Accelerator to distribute reference signals with details of 
how they create the 'beam bucket' signal derived from the last BPM in 
the Hall transport line.

I left a message with Vladimir and will talk with him soon.  I think his 
presentation will certainly overlap topics by U. Alberta, but that's ok.

I will volunteer for the commercial options topic and it should be a 
good lead into the maintenance/documentation topic.  It is a workshop 
format so hopefully folks will be proactive with new and constructive 
ideas given many of the topics are still to be defined in detail, and 
without a real budget constraint.

The ARC auditorium should be large enough for the workshop attendees and 
I've asked Linda Ceraul to check the availability.

Regards,
Chris
