Minutes<http://myitsc.org/esipcommons/taxonomy/term/284>:
We still have some work to do on theme, but we are close to finished and I
wanted to share some pieces that are functioning. All telecon minutes from
ESIP calls since January have been published to the
Commons<http://myitsc.org/esipcommons/taxonomy/term/284>.
Moving forward this will be subscribe-able in your favorite RSS reader and
will include the recording of the call.

Course<http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Data_Management_Short_Course>is
going through a peer-review
of the modules <http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Module_Review_Criteria>.
If you can review a module or have suggestions for others that may make a
good reviewer, please let Ruth Duerr (rduerr at nsidc.org) know. We are
