Participants: Silvia Martinez-Nunez, Stephane Paltani, 
		Jerome Chenevez, Carol Anne Oxborrow, Niels-Joergen
		Westergaard
Subjects discussed:
    1) Status of OSA 6.0 deliveries:
        -j_cor_gain has been delivered once but has integration problems to 
            do with including a new data structure (JMXi-GAIN-SCP) in the SWG. 
            This requires updates of many ISDC components, including 
            PreProcessing. A new delivery will be made this week with a bug
            fix and a better way of handling missing SCP data structures.
        - j_cor_position and j_dead_time_calc, which require far smaller
            changes will be delivered as quickly as possible once j_cor_gain
            has been delivered.
        - j_src_properties has developed considerably and runs, but the results
            are not terribly good. NL and NJW are working hard to improve
            performance but will not be ready by September 15. The next OSA
            release (whether 5.2 or 6.0) will have to be without this component
            since NL and NJW would prefer to wait to have an improved version
            rather than release the component as it now stands. This is less
            confusing for the users.
        - j_ima_iros will be ready in time for the next OSA release
        - Silvia has integrated j_cor_gain 7.1 into her scripts, but will not
            be able to work on them between 11th and 16th September.
        - Mosaicking still has one outstanding SPR to do with VIGNDOL parameter
            but this can easily be completed for OSA release, though will need
            some co-ordination with script development.	   
    2) ISDC representative rotation. Last person to visit ISDC was NJW in June.
    	    Next scheduled representatives are Soeren and Carl who can decide
    	    amongst themselves who takes the rotation in September. No plans
    	    after October when NL is scheduled.
    3) ISDC data analysis workshop. CAO thinks someone from SDAST should be
    	    present at the workshop to present all the options available to
    	    users with the JEM-X ISSW, and also discuss problems and limitations
    	    of the results. Perhaps NL could do this as part of his ISDC
    	    rotation in October.
    4) ADD updates for OSA 6.0 - not discussed until software is delivered.
    5) Next SDAST meeting - meeting will be in Copenhagen, 1st week of October,
    	specifically 3rd, 4th and 5th, are all possible days. When to start
    	the meeting depends on when Stephane and Silvia can get flights. Silvia
    	and Peter will have to arrive the day before. Stephane can if needed
    	arrive on first day of meeting.
    6) AI list. The following AIs are closed: AI35_8, AI35_9, AI35_11, AI35_12,
        AI35_13, AI35_14, AI060607_1, AI060607_2, AI060607_3, AI060607_4,
        AI060607_5
7) AOB - JC announced that a new source MAY have been found by JEM-X, but
        we'd have to wait till he'd confirmed this before getting further
        information.
      -Next chat meeting will be Wednesday 20th September 2006
