The DPT retreat was deemed a success by all team members and it has had a positive impact on team morale. This report offers a brief overview of the topics discussed, and some current and future activities resulting from the retreat.
Highlights are as follows.
We talked about the potential for using the OPUS task managers for applications outside astronomy, say with other earth science data processing, or even telecommunications, etc. Jim Rose is going to follow up with him about that. We discussed the possibility of creating a rich library of processing packages that could be easily adapted for various applications. We discussed porting OPUS to various platforms, chiefly Unix. We have been viewing the Unix video tapes and plan to complete the series over the next couple of months.
