[Esip-sustainabledm] ROI session proposed

Fri Apr 1 16:45:06 EDT 2016

Hello Anne

I'm really sorry I have been vacant on some of the email conversation.  My Mom has become terminally ill and it's been a preoccupation and occupation for a few months now.  It's affected how much I can keep up with all the things on the plate.

I want to stay in the game with the ROI-Sustainable group.  When is the summer ESIP meeting and would the group be meeting there and then?

All best.

Subject: [Esip-sustainabledm] ROI session proposed

Hi all,

Hearing nothing back, I gather the abstract was perfect!  ;)   It is
submitted.  

Though, I write to report back that our cluster, Sustainable Data Management, does not appear on the list of collaboration areas on the form.  (It also does not appear on another list of collaboration areas on
the wiki.   I made a note to that effect in the submission, which we
should be sure will not appear in the final publication.)

Also, there were fields in the form that I didn't know what to do with, e.g., the date.  I'm counting on my understanding that we'll be able to fix session details later.

Are other sessions from our group being proposed today?

Anne
