= Discussion Notes =

* R01 grant next steps
  - Still determining whether we can hire Hamish without assured R01 funding.
  - Some R01s with our percentile rank funded (5 of 18 last year, https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302?ic=NIGMS&fy=2020).
  - Council decides funding on Feb 5, 2022.
  - Program managers before council  try to fund a breadth of proposals, called "programmatic policy decisions" that advise Council decision.
  - Resubmission, earliest date would be March 5, change proposal to address reviewer concerns, add one page to answer criticisms.  Goes back to same study section.  About 1/4 to 1/3 of study section members would change.
  - Can alternatively submit new proposal to new study section.  But we don't know of any more appropriate section.
  - Have to wait for review summary statement to decide next step.

* NIAID contract
  - monthly report due
  - R01 summary statement may influence what next NIAID contract will include (VR, AlphaFold, cryoEM tools...)
  - Inquire again at today's meeting about discussion cryoEM resource needs.

* ChimeraX 1.3 release progress
  - Aiming for end of November release
  - Greg working on two tickets, don't remind of updates, pip install command
  - Greg improved download page so releases all come from JSON file.

* Web site
  - Scooter would like replace SVN management of our web pages with git.
  - Just replace svn with git in a minimal way.
  - Reworking web site should be postponed -- too big a problem given our other priorities.
  - Tom Ferrin got rbvi.org domain that will redirect to ucsf site.  Greg will get certificate for rbvi.org from Let's Encrypt to get https working.
  - vr.ucsf.edu certificate expires Nov 10, Greg will update.
  - Greg says Let's Encrypt certificates expire quickly.  Scooter says get certificate from someone else for 2 year or 5 year expiration.

* Chimera
  - Would be good to move Chimera source from SVN to GIT
  - Scooter asks when should we drop support for Chimera bug reports?
  - Chimera Trac database is having frequent problems too.  Need to rebuild database once per week.
  - Some problems caused by large attachments in email2trac.
  - TomG will change the Chimera download page pitch for ChimeraX to be stronger wording.
  - Chimera downloads outnumber ChimeraX currently 2 to 1.

* New hardware
  - HP workstation shipping November 23 for Linux machine learning
  - Can order Elaine new Mac laptop soon.

* Lab email
  - We will not be able to host our own email in the future.
  - We may need to change our long-standing cgl.ucsf.edu email addresses.
  - Greg says UCSF IT may take over the domain and keep the current addresses.
  - Investigating using gsuite
  - msg.ucsf.edu mx records point to google mail, using gsuite.
  - Tom Ferrin has registered rbvi.org that can be used email with gsuite
  - Scooter says Gladstone uses gsuite
  - Greg can talk to Matt Harrington about msg.ucsf.edu email handling.
