[Esip-drone] Welcome & First Telecon: March 17th 4pm-5pm ET

[Bill Teng]

Some items related to the March agenda:
1. NASA summer 2016 internship on Data Management for Unmanned Aerial 
Systems (UAS)
https://intern.nasa.gov/ossi/web/public/guest/searchOpps/index.cfm?solarAction=view&id=14510
- Application period closed yesterday. A total of 18 applications were 
received; we're reviewing.
- As planned, the selected intern will be able to engage with interested 
ESIP groups. So, if the Drone Cluster is interested ... :-)
- Focus of internship is on data management, thus related to agenda item #1.
2. ASPRS DPAC (Data Preservation and Archiving Committee) will be 
formally releasing a ~beta version of the ASPRS Aerial Data Portal at 
its 2016 annual meeting in April. Currently, the Portal is intended for 
aerial collections (of the dark kind). I've brought up the possibility 
of including drone data in the Portal; but, after discussion, the sense 
of DPAC is that, if it were to do something with drone data, it should 
be a separate--and likely major--effort from the current Portal. Also, 
there are likely other similar efforts ongoing or being planned. So, 
just something for the Drone Cluster to keep in mind. This is related to 
agenda item #2.
3. Cody Benkelman of Esri is a member of DPAC. Out of that discussion on 
the inclusion of drone data in the Portal, Cody will be presenting on 
Esri and UAS at the March DPAC meeting; something related to drone data 
in ArcGIS, data ingest, management, [maybe analysis], and sharing. He'll 
probably also talk about Esri's new Drone2Map. I've requested opening 
that meeting to external participants. Date is also March 17, time is 12 
noon ET. I'll send the connection information later.
4. fyi:

(I forgot if I'd sent this previously ...)
