[Esip-cdf] CDF meeting today at noon PT/3pm ET

[Nick Jarboe]

Dear CDF members,



We will be having our next CDF call today, February 19th at 12:00PT/3:00ET.
Instead of an invited speaker, this month we will have a group discussion
on future directions for the CDF (see below). We hope you can make it and
will bring your ideas for what will make the CDF worthwhile for you. We
already have some good ideas contributed (see meeting minutes

– feel free to add yours in advance or bring them up on the call.

Best,



-Nick and Karen

Hello CDF members,



As we look to the new year, we would like to have a CDF call where we talk
as a community about our priorities and interests in the CDF. For the last
couple of years, we have worked to schedule webinars from repositories or
from related programs and activities. Overall, attendance has been
reducing. *Let’s brainstorm about options and priorities for future CDF
activities and directions at our next CDF call on February 19
12:00PT/3:00ET*.



We want to hear from you, but to get the thinking started, here are some
options for future CDF meeting foci:



-White papers/knowledge summaries: identify a topic where we either want to
speak as a community to outside groups (e.g. to funders, to publishers), or
we think it would be valuable to bring together our knowledge on a topic to
help data facilities. An example was the Registration Considerations
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YrwHUIBtJEO0Qju4Q8a8BIk7065QGDcJ854u0Zt8-5s/edit?tab=t.0>
document
we produced in 2023. This could be something that rolls out over several
meetings and/or is done within a working group. We could generate the
topics ourselves, and we could also ask groups like NSF if they have topics
they are interested in.



- Panels on topics of common interest, with multiple brief speakers and
extended discussion time. E.g. “How is AI being used by repositories right
now”?



- Or a similarly, “Tool Time”: multiple short presentations from members
where each presents on a different tool (approach, standard, technique,
etc.), and how it has, or hasn’t, helped that data facility.



*What would make CDF something you are excited about attending*?



Best,



-Karen
