Potential Topics for Winter Meeting

• Misc. Business
  • GeoPortal validation tutorials

Notes

1) Debrief on Visioneers Committee: Grand Challenges

• Final theme: From Climate Assessment to Intelligence to Action
• This is the "use case set" to consider with
• What about federation/discovery fits within this "grand-challenge" theme?
• Discovery is mostly focused on data, but it could also be used for documents documents…
• Curt Tilmes could be useful in making the jump from documents to data
• Ruth has a NSF proposal in this space, but still very "theoretical"

2) Updates on the ESIP Discovery RFC

• Chris has been pulling content from the DCPs into the RFC
• Authors of the DCPs are included as authors of the RFC
• Copyright issues… will need to do some kind of hybrid Creative Commons license
• Requests for input:
  • Should there be a diagram for recursive OpenSearch queries? (Follow up, Event trace or block diagram)?
• Would like to finish by end of October
• Chris will be sending frequent updates to Discovery list and also "pre-external" reviewers

3) Winter Meeting Brainstorming Session

• Spend the meeting outlining the use case from the visioneers theme
• Use the rest of the time to outline a direction for the solution
• Plan a hack-a-thon for the July meeting to help solve the grand challenge
• Sometimes group gets too far off track discussing near term solutions, but thats also one of the strong points…
• Would it be a good idea to do an NDA to ensure people don't steal each others ideas?
• Other ideas that don't fit in with the theme? (or preferably do?)
  • When to move the GeoPortal server into production? This could probably be handled in a telecon meeting
  • At the face to face, could have a walkthrough/tutorial on validating OpenSearch services and -casting feeds
