At the convergence, we will discuss our summer accomplishments, take stock of current pressing issues that have been in the news (and, in some cases, not in the news), exchange information and resources, and make concrete plans for what well work on during what promises to be an extremely active and effective fall quarter/semester. There will be plenty of space for newcomers to get acquainted with the Coalitions work to date, and contribute meaningfully to planning for the year ahead. The Coalitions core focus to date has been the University of Californias management of the US two primary nuclear weapons laboratories, the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.
