Hello all, This is a friendly nudge to the members of the LSST Science Working Group for several things: First, I sent around an e-mail some time ago, asking your availability for a phonecon in late November or early December. I heard back from less than half of you; those of you who didn't respond before (and that means: Connolly, Eisenstein, Garnavich, Harrison, Larson, Monet, Stubbs, Tyson and Zaritsky) should do so immediately. I will settle on a date in the next few days. Again, what I need is your availability for a 1-2 hour phonecon on weekdays between November 25 and December 13 inclusive. I also would like to find out whether you are planning to attend the Seattle AAS, and what your availability would be during the meeting itself (perhaps during the evening), the Sunday preceding the meeting, and the Friday immediately following. More important is that it is time to do some work! As we discussed in detail at the Princeton meeting (http://astro.princeton.edu/~dss/LSST/lsst-general/msg.17.html), and I reiterated in a mailing to the group immediately after the meeting (http://astro.princeton.edu/~dss/LSST/lsst-general/msg.16.html), the subgroups that we defined to start fleshing out specific science programs for the LSST, need to get started. I suggested using lsst-general as a forum to do so, but have seen no traffic thus far. Has anything been going on? If people within each subgroup would find it useful to meet by phone, Jane Price of NOAO (jprice@noao.edu) can set up a conference call; drop her an e-mail, cc'ed to Sidney Wolff (swolff@noao.edu), explaining what you need (time of call, number of people calling in, and duration of the call). If you also give her the e-mail addresses of the participants, she can send them a notice with the call-in number once she's arranged that. Again, the e-mail addresses of the SWG is as follows: Gary Bernstein, U. Pennsylvania garyb@physics.upenn.edu Andy Connolly U.
