= Discussion Notes =

* R01 funding
  - NIGMS agreed to fund our original R01 submission starting in a week.
  - Tom Ferrin needs to submit annual report for close of previous R01 right away.
  - Since we expected funding in March but now are getting it 6 months early, have too much R01 funding.
  - Plan is to hire a new developer.

* Offsite meeting
  - Will have offsite sailing and lunch October 18, Scooter's boat
  - Possibly pick up at Treasure Island, lunch at Angel Island
  - Conrad will join, Al cannot make it, Cheryl will join
  - Dress in layers, prepared for cold weather or warm

* Equipment spending
  - New projector for vizvault ordered and shipped
  - Will need NIH permission on capital expenses > $5000.
  - 4 A40 GPU server for machine learning, $25000.  R01 funds are for research, not web services, so this would be for development.
  - More memory and local ssd drives for plato.
  - Replace BOXX VR computer, replace Greg's computer, Mac M1 for Scooter's development, graphics card for Scooter's desktop.
  - Poster printer replacement if SACS will be continued.

* SACS
  - Should we continue the Sequence Analysis and Consulting Service (SACS).
  - Just 8 groups using it.  Not much consulting happening.
  - If discontinued we would continue to support collaborators such as Al Burlingame.

* New hire
  - R01, NIAID and Phenix R24 funding cover about 5 FTE.  Cytoscape, SPOKE funds available.
  - Two ideas about who to hire
    - Python / Virtual Reality, ChimeraX focus
    - Python / Web / Javascript, broader projects ChimeraX, SPOKE, Mass spec.

* Flu shots
  - Available in Genentech Hall next Thursday Sep 22, 8 AM - 4 PM.
