Please feel free to add any additional topics or project ideas that you would like to discuss during the event.

During this event, our main focus will be on working collaboratively on documentation alongside the EPICS base group. Given the recent shift to Phoebus and its increased usage in production facilities, it is crucial that we update our existing documentation to accurately reflect the new environment. Therefore, we aim to dedicate half of our time to documentation tasks.

Additionally, we plan to spend the remaining time working on development projects related to the new middle layer services, such as ChannelFinder Nameserver, Save and Restore, Alarm Logger, etc. The presence of EPICS core developers will be invaluable in guiding design decisions to best leverage the features of the underlying protocol.

We welcome participants with varying levels of prior knowledge of the stack. Fresh perspectives for reviewing of the documentation are particularly encouraged. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute, learn, and collaborate with the Phoebus team.

Cheers,
Kunal
