Migrating our projects to the instance managed by SCD gives several advantages: * Lowers the barrier to collaboration with SCD/ALC. Issues will no longer have to be kept in sync between instances * Lowers the overall cost to STFC. The ISIS & SCD instances are entirely separate Atlassian subscriptions so users wanting to see issues in both required a license in both. * Uses SSO by default. Janu has validated & tested the process of copying our current projects over to the STFC instance and we are confident that it works well. We would like to avoid renewing our ISIS subscription (expiring at the end of September) for another year and so we are aiming to perform the migration by end of Friday 5th September. All active issues/boards/projects will be migrated automatically. On 5th September an invite email will be sent out to all current ISIS Jira users for them to join the SCD Jira. Once registered the usability should be the same as before as it is still the same product just hosted in a separate instance. After a week, assuming all goes well, we will put in a redirect so that the ICD instance automatically redirects to the STFC instance. Please let those on your team who also use Jira know. A separate email will be sent to the non-ICD Jira users later today.

Re-review Instrument View epic

by Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI

Dear all, I am e-mailing to ask for a re-review of the Instrument View Epic (https://isisneutronmuon.atlassian.net/browse/SS-117 ). The requests made to change the epic to take account of GUIs that use Instrument View (e.g. ALFView) have been completed. We have also checked with the science areas requested. For those that did not respond initially we gave them until 1st November for comment otherwise we would assume assent. We have now received all the responses we can expect - please see the other e-mail chain to the list for more details. Therefore I am asking for the board to make a decision as soon as possible on this one as we would like to start work on it. We have not done this before but I think we would need a yes or no in writing (i.e. response to this e-mail). Let me know if you have any questions Many thanks Sarah Sarah Foxley Mantid Team Lead and Engineering Manager Science and Technology Facilities Council Phone - 01235 446938 sarah.foxley(a)stfc.ukri.org<mailto:sarah.foxley@stfc.ukri.org> She/Her/Hers [stfc_logo]

Instrument View sign off - who?

by Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI

Dear all, Looking back at my notes from the prioritisation meeting last week I realised that I didn't have all the information I need. With regards the Instrument View epic which areas do we need to show the Epic to and get sign off? I want to be very clear about this to avoid any further problems with this epic. I think it is just - Molecular Spectroscopy - Muons - Reflectometry Is that correct? They don't need to be stakeholders - just review the epic, provide feedback and once they are happy say that they agree with it. Thanks Sarah Sarah Foxley Mantid Team Lead and Engineering Manager Science and Technology Facilities Council Phone - 01235 446938 sarah.foxley(a)stfc.ukri.org<mailto:sarah.foxley@stfc.ukri.org> She/Her/Hers [stfc_logo]

Update to MPB Terms of Reference

by Anders Markvardsen - STFC UKRI

Hi, I know not the most exciting topic! However, the existing Terms of Reference, i.e. [?docx icon] MantidProgrammeBoard.docx<https://stfc365.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/MantidProgrammeBoard/Shared%20Do…>, is hugely out of date. Please see [?docx icon] Proposed update to the MantidProgrammeBoard terms - Oct 2024.docx<https://stfc365.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/MantidProgrammeBoard/Shared%20Do…> for proposed updated Terms, which is ~600 words long as compared to current ~1600 words long Terms. Motivation for doing this also is that we have new members coming in/out with Steve/Rob and Jonathan/Gui, hence a closer to reality description of this board might be helpful. Note the wording of the Terms says that it needs approval including by the ISIS Computing Division Head (as I read it). Hence before passing it to Hannah, either before or on Thursday please don't hesitate to provide feedback in that meeting, here or using Word comments/track changes. Best, Anders Anders Markvardsen (he/him) PhD, CITP, SPC Scientific Software Group Leader ISIS Neutron and Muon Source STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxford OX11 0QX

Wednesday's MPB prioritisation meeting

by Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI

Dear all, Anders is not available to chair the meeting on Wednesday and so I will be chairing instead with Januka leading on the Epic Board parts. Jonathan has updated the agenda - MPB Epic Prioritisation Agenda 2024-10-09<https://stfc365.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/MantidProgrammeBoard/Shared%20Do…> We have 1 Epic in the Implementing (Persevere) column and a further 5 in the Analyzing column to decide whether or not to continue with. If you can therefore take a look at these before the meeting to help speed up discussions on the day? Remember you will be able to ask Richard questions about the Bragg Peak Epic in the Implementing (Persevere) column as part of his presentation to help with your decision making. Thanks Sarah Sarah Foxley Mantid Team Lead and Engineering Manager Science and Technology Facilities Council Phone - 01235 446938 sarah.foxley(a)stfc.ukri.org<mailto:sarah.foxley@stfc.ukri.org> She/Her/Hers [stfc_logo]

Epics to be reviewed / October 2024

by Januka Wijesinghe Ekanayaka - STFC UKRI

Hi everyone, You can access the epic board via this link<https://isisneutronmuon.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/SS/boards/5>. Please review the epics in the "Analysing" column. If you share your thoughts and comments as early as possible for each Epic, it will help us improve them by the time we meet to review them in person. This is also the first time we have an Epic that was captured as part of Endeavour instrument requirements (WISH-II) for you to review. Thanks! -- Janu Product Manager Scientific Software Group ISIS/STFC [cid:5f66e50e-5a17-4963-be39-79b3e2ceafa1]<https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/6a795b198fd04ba288e4fb1596d45c48…> Book time to meet with me<https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/6a795b198fd04ba288e4fb1596d45c48…>

Profiling workflows Epic - delays

by Sarah Foxley - STFC UKRI

Dear all, So far we've only had one Workflow submitted for the Profiling Workflow Epic. Thank you to Max for sending through one from Reflectometry. This means that we are unable to deliver it this release at we'd hoped. It's a shame because that first workflow has already been used to identify 5 improvements to Mantid - see https://github.com/mantidproject/mantid/issues/37149 for the full list for Workflow A. Where possible we are trying to fix these for v6.11 release in October. A big thank you to both Steve and David for trying to get people to send us workflows through. I know it's cycle and a busy time but if people do have time to send Rob workflows we'd be very grateful. As you can see it is allowing us to find areas we can improve! Many thanks Sarah Sarah Foxley Mantid Team Lead and Engineering Manager Science and Technology Facilities Council Phone - 01235 446938 sarah.foxley(a)stfc.ukri.org<mailto:sarah.foxley@stfc.ukri.org> She/Her/Hers [stfc_logo]
