<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">First, we <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGW_5YmDJoXW_YYru4hkw9Eq-mb3laoiz1n0tjUPGK1K9r1A/viewform">
have a poll</a> to check if our current meeting time is still the best. Please fill it out by March 21<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">- We will not have a regular CDF call in March. Many of us have a lot going on around changes to funding streams, hiring freezes, etc…so we’ll take March off to focus on our day jobs. However, if anyone is
interested in having an informal discussion about how repositories are being affected by and responding to current events, please let me know. We’d be happy to launch a call as an open community time.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">- In May, we will talk about how data facilities are using AI to get their work done (as separate from getting data AI-ready for others).<b> We need your help with this
</b>- if you have used AI tools or approaches in some aspect of your repository work, whether it went well or poorly, and are willing to talk to the group for a few minutes about your experience, please let me know.
