Birds of a Feather Discussion (B7) Simon O'Toole (Australian Astronomical Optics (MQ))
Building Balanced Teams
Successful teams are built not just on good people, but the right people for the job. But how do you find the right people? How do you avoid selecting people just because they look like you, sound like you and think like you? How do you get the most out of the team you have? How do you develop and maintain trust in a complex stakeholder environment? In this BoF we will explore the importance of diversity and inclusion in building trust in teams, continuing from the discussions started at last year’s successful “How do you get the most of your teams?” BoF. There will be a series of presentations designed to address these issues and challenge attitudes, followed by an open floor discussion. Sign on url:

(P1.10) Data Central for Survey Teams
Data Central is a virtual observatory service designed for use by astronomers and survey teams. It is a central repository for data that provides long term availability, data security and IVOA compliance. We are now ready to offer new services to enable the smooth running of astronomical surveys. We introduce these services here, including: a survey team data cloud, which allows teams to move data quickly and easily from the telescope to the desktop; Document Central, a content management system which allows teams to produce detailed documentation for both public and private consumption; and private team data access, so that teams can query and manage data that are not yet ready for public release. We will present a case study of the DEVILS survey team, who have been running their survey through system since December 2017.
