2023-09-06 TSO WG Meeting notes

Nestor Espinoza Everett Schlawin 

• Nestor Espinoza mentions that ExoCTK will be updated in the coming weeks and will likely appear in a newsletter. Some items include an updated decontamination tool for SOSS to account for distortion and an update on Pandexo. Testing is ongoing.
• Everett Schlawin mentions that Michael Zhang delivered Pandexo code modifications that allow saving calculations and other additions and asks if these will be included. It appears more coordination with the Pandexo development team is needed and additional testing before officially including these new additions. It is likely to have these additions included for Cycle 4.
• Nestor Espinoza mentions the STScI hosted "Improving JWST Data Products Workshop" with an approaching deadline for abstract submission: September 22nd. Link to the workshop page: https://www.stsci.edu/contents/events/stsci/2023/november/improving-jwst-data-products-workshop
