Subject: | Interactive sessions at the EPICS meeting |

Dear colleagues,
In Melbourne EPICS meeting and during the ICALEPCS conference (especially in the evening ad-hoc session there) several people expressed the wish to have more interactive discussions during the EPICS meetings. Because
of this, in the upcoming meeting at Lund we would like to try to devote the Wednesday afternoon to a number of breakout sessions for topics of special interest. The time for the sessions would be up to three, or even four hours (13:00-17:00). Each session
will have a moderator whose task would be to prepare an agenda for the session (a rough one, these should be discussions and not mini-conferences), lead the meeting and be prepared to briefly summarise the results in the end of the meeting on Friday. The goal
is to have discussions, brainstorming, wishes, feedback, etc. Prepared talks only for the purpose of starting discussions or to illustrate issues.
The list of topics we have thought so far is:
-motion control (a small group has already been established around this topic so this will take place for sure)
-EPICS development roadmap, wishes, contributions, codeathon ideas,...
-timing and related issues (hardware, drivers, timing-based applications, timestamping,...)
-hardware platform support (RPi, MTCA, design sharing, open source solutions,...)
-EtherCAT development, drivers
We have to limit somewhere because we have a limited amount of rooms available, not much more than 5, but the list could go on to:
-CS-Studio developments
-DISCS developments, status, planning, coordination
-possibility to have a common repository and better development workflows (now one has to fish around for drivers, it is often unclear how to contribute patches, etc.)
And of course it would be good to hear about more ideas for breakout sessions.
I am sorry for the extra effort, but I would appreciate if you go once more to the registration page on https://indico.esss.lu.se/e/EPICS-Spring2016 and update your registration with this item.
Based on the feedback we will set up the sessions. At this point I will ask people to give an indication which breakout they would be interested in. The participation shall be open, but we have rooms of different sizes
and need to plan how to distribute the sessions to different rooms.
Best regards,
Timo
