[Esip-sustainabledm] AGU RoI related session?

[Anne Wilson]

Hi all,

At RDA I received a bit of encouragement from Lesley Wyborn to submit a ROI and/or data center sustainability session proposal for the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting in December.   I know some of us are very familiar with AGU’s annual meeting, while I think others are not.   The proposal deadline is a week from today.   The meeting is in New Orleans this year, roughly the 2nd week of December.

The theme for ESSI (Earth and Space Science Informatics) this year is something like, “Shortening the time to science”.     

With that in mind, session titles  might be something like

- how to value the contributions of data centers?
- how do data centers shorten the time to science?
- data centers and their impacts
- shortening the time to science through robust data centers 
- data center sustainability: RoI, funding, etc…
- ??

Is anyone out there interested in co chairing a session?  I don’t really have the energy to be the sole champion of this effort, so would probably not do it without other interest and support.

Lots of ??!

Anne
