Difference: TeleConf05112015 ( vs. 1)

Attended: Jakob, Mickael, Markus, Raphael, Laura, Semeli, Ariel

Apologies to everyone for delaying the starting time of the meeting ("Force majeure").

Telcon "technology": we tried out Adobe Connect, quite successfuly. We figured out a few things during the meeting. Next time should be smoother. (Sorry Peter, we did not have time to check if a phone option exists!).

- Software development: We discussed both good software practices we want to implement, to be worked out by Mickael and Uli.

Some of the software pieces (I think!) we have in mind:

(1) implementation of cadence simulator, not only of SNe Ia, currently in IDL is being re-written in Python within the SNcomo frame. This is nearly in place. (Raphael and Uli)

(2) Lightcurves based on the expected discoveries from (1), i.e., z, cadence, discovery epoch, (Uli, Mickael, ...)

(3) Fitted lightcurves and cosmology (SNcosmo framework?) using info from expected calibration accuracy, etc

The code 'grand design' should allow for a natural incorporation to lower level products: CCD images, calibration files, etc.

- Calibration: Jakob will work on existing P200 observations of standard stars. Probably not good enough to answer the questions we have, but a good start! Next step is to propose a set of observations for the next few months.

Next meeting: Nov 19
