Attendees: Tom Arnold, Artur Glavic, Phillipp Gutfreund, Brian B Maranville, …

  • How to meet in the future? What is the part of this working group for it?
    • Maybe money for a in-person meeting from PSI
    • Attach to SXNS or other in the future?
    • Widest reach across x-ray and neutron communities
    • A little x-ray focused, but maybe self enhancing
    • LINXS or other shared society workshop? Could be to unfocussed and small.
  • Meetings help to spark progress in all aspects
  • Should the Education and outreach still be responsible for organizing meetings?
    • No, should be shared amongst workgroups.
    • Would maybe require clearer association to working groups on website.
    • We could initiate that process.
  • Organization of online meetings
    • Hard to schedule with different time zones
    • Are there ideas how to better do it?
  • Meeting frequency and time
    • Linking to conference is a good idea, SXNS seems the best choice
    • Have part of meetings online?
    • More then once a year in person maybe not feasible.
    • Having focused meetings separately by VC should help. Maybe every 3 Months
  • Education and outreach, the scope of this workgroup
    • Out facing content
      • Is definitely part of the scope of the workgroup to manage the website
      • How to maintain a website? Easiest as kind of Wiki so everyone can contribute.
      • Resources for people like references and things to put on other websites
    • Being a central point to start research on the subject
      • Add list of references and textbooks
      • Promote programs which follow our guidance, but encourage others to join.
  • What is our outreach scope?
    • Just reach reflectometrists with results from other ORSO groups?
    • Try to expand user base? Maybe not.
  • Link to e.g. PANOSC but don’t put much effort.
  • Get others to link us for related content, e.g. software of analysis.

  • Publicize the importance of reproducibility etc.

  • Funding applications?
    • We need some kind of funding, e.g. for website and in-person meetings.
    • Nice to not tie it to a facility.
    • Travel seems not great to spend money on but should be payed by institutes of attendees. But can be problematic for e.g. ANSTO employees.
    • Stand alone meetings would probably be too expensive.
  • How do we make decisions in the group
    • Too much agreement will slow context addition to the website. Maybe everybody should just add content. What happens on disagreement?
  • Keep it open
  • Separate ORSO approved content (standards etc.) and information content.
  • ORSO, logo
  • Should be recognizable, bear pretty good idea
  • Maybe make a survey
  • Deadline for submitting design, June 30
  • Great if other ideas are proposed.
