LSST in Germany

After conversation with Steve Kahn, Michael Strauss (& at end -- Joe Mohr)

Basic plan:

get a DPG (not the whole community) going, which involves the usual suspects
and enough university participation that a DFG Schwerpunkt, as suggested by Krückeberg,
seems feasible..

DFG Schwerpunkt, deadline Oct 15; decision by March; Rundgespräch recommended


HWR's action to coordinate within the MPG:

-draft e-mail with the basic options:
Who want's to commit how many "individual slots"
Should we cast this is terms of a joint MPG participation group?
Should we approach the MPG Präsidium for central funds?
