ESIP President, Peter Fox, was named an AGU Fellow!  We also want to congratulate Dawn Wright, Esri, on being the 2015 Leptoukh lecture. The lecture will be Tuesday, Dec 15, 2:40-3:40, Moscone West 3014.

DJ was previously the Chief Scientist at LinkedIn among other leading data and technology positions. We are looking for good questions. Please email me questions, if you have ideas.

ESIP will be featured on the Thursday afternoon panel - Making Data Matter: Improving Data Practices in the Geosciences. I am moderating a panel that will include Cyndy Chandler, BCO-DMO, Peter Fox, TWC-RPI, Ted Habermann, the HDF Group and Jeff de La Beaujardiere, NOAA. Each of the panelist represents an ESIP type - data centers, researchers, application developers and our sponsors. Further details on the program are here: https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2015/event/agu-data-fair  This fair will also include a map of exhibitors that are data repositories and other information.
