 === AAS 241 Meeting Recap ===
-Nancy provided a brief summary of how things went at the APO booth we had at AAS 241 in Seattle. As a reminder, the goals of having a booth were to raise the visibility of the facility, talk to others in the industry, showcase the science results enabled by observations at APO, provide a center for ARC members to connect with each other, and promote the open positions at the observatory since we are currently hiring. The generally feeling was that it was a very successful meeting, and we achieved most of the aforementioned goals. Bill made some important face-to-face connections with people at other observatories as well as vendors from PlaneWave and FingerLakes, and Jamey highlighted the importance of the booth for talking to students (which could help with recruitment in the graduate programs of the ARC institutions). A number of students inquired about internship possibilities and short-term positions (e.g. during a gap year), so we ought to think more about whether that is something we would want to implement. Several UC reps said that their students were excited about the booth and that it was useful for raising visibility of the facility.

   * Nancy: start investigations re: short wavelength throughput (climate data, other facilities). No news. Going forward we are tabling this action item and will not be reporting on it since we are in the process of sorting out the realuminization plans for M1, which takes priority. Status: TABLED.
-  * Nancy: make sure that the APO web site gets updated to address the issues reported by Eric B. in December. Status: OPEN. There were several issue that needed to be addressed. a) the wiki link on the 3.5m page still pointed to the old wiki - //this was fixed.// b) the Search Site function on the APO home page does not work. //Testing is ongoing to solve this;// it appears to be a VPN issue for the site web server (i.e., it works for people at APO but does not work for people accessing the web pages from off-site locations). c) the ToO policy is not easily found. //We are working on a document// that we can post on the scheduling page to make this information more easy to locate.
