Hi @channel! A reminder that we will be meeting on the Cafecon Auditorium at 11 AM to discuss TSO Pipeline points (i.e., in about 15 mins).I’ve created a Google Docs (see below) on which I’ll store meeting notes from our conversation --- you can already see there a list of discussion item topics, but of course, we can move to other topics that you think might be important to raise.For our virtual participants, we’ll use this BlueJeans link: https://bluejeans.com/642761523

follow up of the tread was on meeting room logistics and it is not reported here

Algorithms to change in Stage 1: refpix --> better 1/f and dark_current skip


Everett Schlawin

Stage 2: flat_field (for NIRCam) needs to use an imaging flat rather than spectroscopic flat (still 1.0 as far as I last checked)


Everett Schlawin

We didn't have time to discuss but do TSO folks think we need to change extract_2d ? I'm not sure about all mode but I recall that some modes throw out useful info on the background and reference pixels

Nestor Espinoza

Hmmmm….yeah, it seems like an extended, instrument-by-instrument discussion indeed.

Taylor Bell

Nestor, you'd initially wanted to meet again on Friday to wrap things up. Are you happy with the notes you took from today's session, or are you wanting to meet again?


Nestor Espinoza

Ah, thanks for the heads up on this @Taylor Bell.@channel, I think we are good with the notes. You all are too efficient! So no need to meet tomorrow. Thanks so much for your time and thoughts on TSO land!I would like to once again remind for you folks to bring the idea of a data challenge back to your institutions. I'm very excited for this prospect --- we could organize for as early as next year. I would like to poll part of the community on this early next year to get a sense of dates and interest!
