 ## Overview
 
-The Analysis Facilities (AF) Forum provides a community platform for those interested in contributing to the development of analysis facilities for use by HEP experiments, serving as a space to develop and exchange ideas. We interpret “development” in the broad sense, including the contribution of ideas from potential end users for functionality to support the analysis of HEP data, specification and planning of the facilities themselves, and technical developments needed to realize AFs. HEP experiments have their own internal processes for developing and deploying AFs; this AF Forum is intended to support and strengthen those efforts by sharing amongst a broader community the key ideas and developments. The AF Forum also collaborates with related [HSF Working Groups]({{site.baseurl}}/what_are_WGs.html), such as the [Data Analysis Working Group]({{site.baseurl}}/workinggroups/dataanalysis.html) and the [PyHEP Working Group]({{site.baseurl}}/workinggroups/pyhep.html), and with [WLCG](https://wlcg.web.cern.ch) and [IRIS-HEP](https://iris-hep.org) projects.

 The development of future analysis facilities is of great interest to the HEP community, with considerable recent progress. There are numerous ongoing efforts to stand up AFs that utilize new tools and techniques to help make data analysis tasks easier, more performant, and more reproducible.

 The HEP Software Foundation Steering Group (SG) is a group of motivated individuals who take responsibility for promoting, guiding and monitoring the HSF’s activities in all areas. They have the role of preserving the HSF’s knowledge and engagement with the community over multiple years and over changes of working group conveners.
 
-The SG takes responsibility for deciding on which working groups and activities that the HSF will engage in, with a view to making the HSF’s activities as beneficial for the HEP community as possible, whilst also respecting and nurturing the HSF’s “bottom-up” philosophy. Input from the Advisory Group is addressed. The SG will meet regularly, once a quarter.

Input from the Advisory Group is addressed. The SG will meet regularly, at least once a quarter.
 
-Each member of the SG will take responsibility for following at least one HSF activity, e.g., a particular working group, or a workshop or event organised by the HSF. To coordinate with the working groups and the rest of the HSF, SG members should attend HSF Coordination Group meetings. The SG liaisons will ensure that working groups remain active and cross coordinate with related activities; and that topical activities, such as workshops, should arrive at an agreed conclusion, where the outcome is clear, preserved for the future and that any follow-ups are acted on.

-The SG will invite new members from amongst the active HSF members and working group conveners in order to ensure a healthy active SG group. When a SG member becomes inactive (e.g., ceases to meaningfully follow any HSF activities) in the HSF they will leave the SG. Normally HSF SG members should serve for about 5 years before stepping down to allow newer members to take over.

 The SG is convened by a chair, who is elected annually by the group (see below). The chair is responsible for organising the regular SG meetings and ensuring that all HSF activities are followed by members of the SG. The SG organises itself by seeking consensus. If the SG cannot agree on a particular issue, input will be solicited from the HSF Advisory Group and, if appropriate, the wider HSF community. In a last instance, the SG may hold a vote on a particular issue.  The SG chair is also responsible for ensuring that SG members are actively fulfilling their role by contributing to the work of the SG (temporary breaks from SG activity in circumstances such as parental leave or illness are allowed).  SG meeting minutes are made public, except where a confidential matter has been discussed.

 # Development Services
 
-Both CERN and Fermilab have expressed willingness to support some development tools and services for the HSF community, once technical issues are worked out. For example, access to [TechLab](https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/IT/TechLab) resources at CERN. In other areas the HSF may provide guidance, recommendations, templates etc. for the use of open source tools. This group will plan and coordinate activities and service offerings in this area.

 ## Overview
 
-The Analysis Facilities (AF) Forum provides a community platform for those interested in contributing to the development of analysis facilities for use by HEP experiments, serving as a space to develop and exchange ideas. We interpret “development” in the broad sense, including the contribution of ideas from potential end users for functionality to support the analysis of HEP data, specification and planning of the facilities themselves, and technical developments needed to realize AFs. HEP experiments have their own internal processes for developing and deploying AFs; this AF Forum is intended to support and strengthen those efforts by sharing amongst a broader community the key ideas and developments. The AF Forum also collaborates with related [HSF Activity Areas]({{site.baseurl}}/what_are_activities.html), such as the [Data Analysis Activity Area]({{site.baseurl}}/workinggroups/dataanalysis.html) and the [PyHEP Activity Area]({{site.baseurl}}/workinggroups/pyhep.html), and with [WLCG](https://wlcg.web.cern.ch) and [IRIS-HEP](https://iris-hep.org) projects.

 The development of future analysis facilities is of great interest to the HEP community, with considerable recent progress. There are numerous ongoing efforts to stand up AFs that utilize new tools and techniques to help make data analysis tasks easier, more performant, and more reproducible.
