Steering Group Organisation
- The new mailing list for the SG has been setup, viz. hsf-steering@googlegroups.com and is whitelisted for use from CERN email addresses

Steering Group Roles
The following roles have been taken on by SG members so far:
| Role | SG Member(s) |
|---|---|
| SG Chair | Graeme |
| Data Analysis Liaison | Eduardo, Mark |
| Detector Simulation Liaison | Torre |
| Physics Generator Liaison | Liz, Stefan |
| JuliaHEP Liaison | Pere |
| PyHEP Liaison | Eduardo |
| Reconstruction and Software Triggers Liaison | Michel, Paul |

ACTION: SG Liaisons should arrange a discussion with their respective activity area to discuss plans for the future.
- In particular, do they envisage “working group” actions (meaning doing some development with concrete outcomes) and/or communication roles, e.g., contributing to the upcoming HSF seminar series.
- Ideas/contributions for the seminar series
HSF Advisory Group
We decided the Advisory Group should be composed of HEP experiments, WLCG and representatives from the generator/theory community.
Affiliate Projects
ACTION: Eduardo and Pere to refine better the notion of metrics for different levels of project support from the HSF (bronze, silver, gold)
Graeme worked on using shields.io to produce badges that can be used on GitHub/GitLab. See the new README on the website, where new SVG versions of the HSF logo also exist.
Seminar Series
Decided to hold the seminar series in the same timeslot as the current Compute and Accelerator Forum, viz. 16h30 CEST on Wednesdays.
At the moment we keep the C&AF and the HSF Seminars separate identities.
Some interest in also using this slot for a renewed Software and Computing Roundtable, TBD.
Organising the seminar series will become a standing item in the HSF Coordination Meetings.
AOB
The next SG meeting will be on Monday 15 July at 15h CEST.
