Agenda

Update on Testbed RFP announcement

  • Have you heard of anyone planning to respond?
    • Adam and his student at RPI
    • Semantic Web Cluster ToolMatch project
      • Looking at how Testbed resources can help their project: hosting a webpage, server instance
      • Nancy looking to make a plan within the next two weeks
      • May collaborate with the Energy Cluster
      • Want something to demo ToolMatch service and project at Summer Meeting
  • Buzz - Erin wrote a blog post, and has been announced in ESIP Weekly; how to generate more buzz?
    • Christine can post on ESIP FB page (image) - maybe an event - deadline
      • Point to prior projects
    • Erin & Peter will be at meetings next week - can plug at those meetings
      • RDA, EOSDIS WG, etc.
  • Nice ppt slide with awesome image: Ken's cute robot

Testbed (Other)

  • Education Committee
    • Possible collaboration with these federal agencies
    • Connections with NOAA & NASA
    • Ideas for lesson plans with earth science data competition
      • Testbed could host some of their competition resources - webpages…
      • Testbed could fund some things like surveys, survey staff, public relations
    • They're meeting tomorrow - 2:30 Eastern
    • Roberta is chair, Erin will mention to her when they go on break today
  • Documentation has talked about doing a hackathon at summer meeting - metadata work; could be a project (Christine to attend next cluster meeting, Thurs?)
  • ESIP Data Analytics group - they are meeting Thurs (Nancy to attend?)
  • Data Stewardship (Ruth leads - Christine send her or Sarah Ramdeen a note to remind about the RFP)
  • Think about where NASA & NOAA fit into Testbed activities, since history of Testbed idea came from NASA being interested in an environment to try out ideas before they are operational
    • How to educate/clarify the resources available - funding is too little to push through their organizational processes ("too low, won't bother")
      • Do it as an individual contractor - represent yourself, and take it as contracting income in tax
      • QA topic: how to handle low funding thresholds and your institutional practices
