[Esip-sustainabledm] Fwd: ESIP Sustainability Cluster ESIP meeting, drafts, deadline is April 10, Monday!

Wed Apr 5 18:44:06 EDT 2017

Hi all -
Several things:
A. Here is a link to the draft ESIP session abstract:

What we have in the notes from March  was a working session for the RoI 
white paper. This does not quite fit in with inviting Beagrie to speak. 
So this draft has 3 options:
1: a working meeting to make progress on the white paper.

2: Speaker-oriented session, in which we invite an outside expert, 
Beagrie. Presumes we have funds to bring him here.

3: Working session to demonstrate code for text mining (e.g., Keith 
Maull’s tools, as described in Tempe:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iRjsro7MtVgbSYYvqgBpFi5EFoDGhxFx4tudjH0CF-s/edit

Another thought is that we suggest Beagrie for a keynote speaker - one 
of you is better positioned than me to know if he fits the profile for 
that. but then we'd be reduced to 2 choices for our working session.

B. here is a draft request for funding to bring Beagrie to the ESIP meeting:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iRjsro7MtVgbSYYvqgBpFi5EFoDGhxFx4tudjH0CF-s/edit

needs a bunch of work, as you will see. the original announcement of 
funding support is pasted in at the bottom of the page.

AND Finally!
C. the notes from the March call are posted. Please note that Cyndy had 
a request - there were two columns left off one of the tabs, please 
revisit and fill in your numeric score:

Hi Cyndy -
I had a fantastic break in New Zealand!
The process for adding pages is a little obtuse (IMO) - no surprise you
didn't figure it out. I'll get these in the next day or so.
