[ESIP-all] Monday Update: ESIP Commons Updates | Virtual Participation at the ESIP Meeting | NOAA Viz Lab GOES-East Update

[Erin Robinson]

Hi All -

Happy Fourth of July Week!

This past week we passed a milestone on the *ESIP
Commons<http://commons.esipfed.org/>
 *with *real* ESIP members creating accounts and starting to add
content! Check out the posters for the Summer
Meeting<http://commons.esipfed.org/gallery/Summer%20Meeting%202012>or
the Summer
Meeting Schedule<http://commons.esipfed.org/schedule/Summer%20Meeting%202012>.
One of the big improvements for the schedule is the ability to see sessions
by expertise level (e.g.
Beginner<http://commons.esipfed.org/schedule/Summer%20Meeting%202012?field_location_tid=&field_expertise_lvl_tid=Beginner&field_committee_tid=>)
or by collaboration area (e.g.
Discovery<http://commons.esipfed.org/schedule/Summer%20Meeting%202012?field_location_tid=&field_expertise_lvl_tid=&field_committee_tid=Discovery>
).

Speaking of the *Summer
Meeting*<http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Summer_2012_Meeting>- I am
also really excited about the virtual participation capabilities at
the Pyle Center in Madison, WI. Many of our sessions are in rooms dedicated
to distance learning - microphones at every seat, robust internet!! Beyond
the physical space, the ESIP Commons gives an additional opportunity for
virtual participants to share posters or comment on notes in ways that
we've never seen and there is always the #ESIPFed Twitter
hashtag<https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%23ESIPFed>to keep up
with 'hallway chatter'. There is still time to register
for the meetings<http://www.regonline.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=1078265>-
virtual or in person. Looking forward to seeing many of you there - it
is
going to be a great meeting!
