[ESIP-all] Monday Update: Winter Meeting Planning | IT&I Rant/Rave - RESTful Services, P. Cappelaere | ESIP Testbed Portal Migrates to Drupal 7

[Erin Robinson]

Hi All -

We are narrowing down on the 2013 ESIP Winter Meeting
theme<http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Winter_2013_Meeting>and
appreciate that so many people have taken the time to provide input!
Visioneers will meet* today, 12 pm EDT t*o continue meeting planning.

This month's IT&I Rant/Rave is from Pat Cappelaere presenting: "You want to
move to RESTful Services?  Does it really matter?
OR should we rather start thinking in terms of Social Web Services? What
could this mean to the ESIP federation?" Here is a preview the slides:

The ESIP Testbed Portal (http://testbed.esipfed.org/) developed by GMU has
migrated to Drupal 7. We would love your feedback. Send comments to me or
to Ken Keiser (keiserk at uah.edu).
