2020 NIAC and Code Camp dates surrounding NOBUGS2020 (Oct. 14-16). Proposed dates are:
- NIAC meeting on Oct. 12-13th (i.e. Monday-Tuesday just before NOBUGS)
- Code Camp on either Oct. 10-11th, or 17-18th (i.e. weekend before, or after)

Present: BW, MK, FA

All agreed that the NIAC tradition is to meet together with NOBUGS and that there is no alternatives being proposed.
All agreed that Oct. 12-13th is the obvious best choice for dates adjacent to NOBUGS2020.

MK suggested that Oct. 19-20th could be better dates to avoid working over the weekend. BW would rather not lengthen the travel further than necessary.
All agreed that after the NIAC made more sense than before since it would allow enacting NIAC decisions.
BW suggested that we could advertise the Code Camp as an opportunity for software developers (i.e. NOBUGS attendees) to work through practical NeXus-related problems together with the experts.
After some discussion, all agreed that Oct 17-18th was the better choice.

BW disappointed in attendence, considering lots of people answered the poll to decide the telco date. Perhaps this highlights the importance of the Outlook calendar event that was forgotten this time.
Next telco to aim for mid March.
