[Esip-sciencesoftware] potential activity for this cluster re: Winter 2016 and AIST Evaluations

[soren scott]

Hello,

If anyone is interested in the Technology Evaluation Framework developed
for the AIST evaluations, we had a presentation Tuesday by John Graybeal
and the project documents can currently be found here:

http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/P%26S_Telecon_-_January_19,_2016#Technology_Evaluation_Framework_Final_Report

We had a good discussion around the larger community interested in this
area so I'll suggest that perhaps a better option is to consider a
cross-cluster working group on the software evaluation with representation
from folks here?

Cheers,
Soren
