Dear LSST stellar populations panel members,

     Below is the agenda for our panel meeting next week, March 20-21.  
Thanks to all of you who sent one-paragraph write-ups--they set the
agenda and will serve as a guide for our discussions.  I have tried to
organize the discussion around broad science subjects, without regard
to whether the projects will make most use of the variablility
database, the astrometric database, or the static photometry.  Each of
these capabilities I expect will be fleshed out in the flow of the
science discussions.  Don't panic at seeing your name next to a
discussion topic--all this means is that we would like you to kick off
the discussion on that topic.  I have not planned for formal
presentations; however, the room will be equipped with a laptop
projector and overhead projector for showing slides and
transparencies.  Bringing some materials will help move the discussion
forward.  Laptops may be hooked up to the network, as the conference
room is wired.


		  Knut

PS.  After talking with Michael Strauss, we have decided to use the
lsst-general@astro.princeton.edu mail list, which was set up to serve
the LSST Science Working Group, to serve this group as well.  You are
all encouraged to subscribe to that list; even if you do not
subscribe, however, you can still read the messages at
