SOFI Personnel
Major manpower hole
- Two dedicated SOFI people left 30 man months ago; not replaced yet
- STAF author and CZAR promoted to other responsibilities (but still involved in STAF evolution, Grand Challenge (GC), RHIC computing infrastructure)
- BNL now building up an infrastructure team
- Infrastructure/Analysis tools (hire decision early Sept, offer still pending; acceptance expected: Valery Fine)
- Infrastructure/STAF (new position 9/97; good candidates; accumulating letters)
- Infrastructure/Database (new position 9/97; good candidates; accumulating letters)
- Release coordinator/Infrastructure (trial candidate identified and ready to start; awaiting BNL action)
- Head of production hired: Yuri Fisyak. Not strictly SOFI, but close interaction.
- Will also leverage Grand Challenge work, eg. STAF / Objectivity port
