-====Notes====
+The outline below comprises the outline for elements of the ESIP Federation Summer Meeting (July 20-23, 2010 at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville).  The program is beginning to evolve. Feel free to contribute your ideas below.
-Participants: Jim Frew, Bruce Caron, Thomas Huang, Mohan Ramamurthy, Tyler Stevens, Karl Benedict, Ana Prados, Chris Lenhardt, Brian Rogan, Carol Meyer
-Bruce Caron welcomed the participants and noted the purpose of the Visioneers Group was to allow for open input into the ESIP Federation meeting and to continuously improve them.

-Survey Results:
+====Potential Breakout Tracks====
-:*"positive dilemma" of too little space to accommodate our audience (new venue needed); larger area for poster session; breakout rooms need to be larger
+*Science Communication (or a possible workshop topic)
-:*content of sessions were rated as Excellent to Good
+:communicating with media
-:*liked food, service, staff
+:communicating with public
-:*attendees got things done at the meeting through networking and project follow up opportunities
+:using social media for communication
-:*attendees really liked the speakers
+:using visualizations as communication methods
-*Frew: accommodated the surge of people well; noticed that the breakout doors closed rather than allowing people to circulate in between sessions; far too many breakouts were organized as symposia rather than interactive ('lightning talks')
+====Technical Workshops====
-*Bruce Caron: 'Ignite' or "Charette" (sp?) technology to reduce the time that presentations occupy in the agenda; do a session on Ignite technology at the summer meeting
-*Karl Benedict: presentation-demo session was light on the demos and too heavy on the presentations in one breakout track
-*Ana Prados: morning wrap up was too unstructured
-*Chris Lenhardt: Residence Inn across from NASA headquarters; host at an agency location (NAS)
-. Summer Meeting (July 20-23, 2010 in Knoxville, TN)
+====Education Workshops====
-Bruce Caron provided an overview to differentiate the Winter (DC) meeting and the Summer (campus) meeting. The summer meeting is technical in nature, with a more open feel to its structure.  Technology Workshop day, Education workshop, serious breakouts with clusters and working groups, and very little time spent in plenary.
+====Open Meeting Day====
+[[SPG Agenda July 22 2010|NASA Standards Process Group]] - All day, July 22 - Tentative topic: Reference Architectures and Standards for Decadal Survey Data Systems
-*Chris Lenhardt provided an overview of the conference facilities, university campus and will involve UT staff in the planning of the meeting.  There is interest in kicking off an Energy Cluster at the meeting.  Need a big name speaker to attract people to the venue.
+====Poster Session====
-:*Day 1 (Tuesday) - Technology Workshp (as in past years?)
+====FUNding Friday====
-:*Day 2 (Wednesday) - Morning Plenary; Afternoon Breakouts; Teacher Workshops (pm); Poster session & reception (an organized effort to tie some posters to the meeting theme)
-:*Day 3 (Thursday) - Open Meeting Sessions (best practices for leading these session: better up to date on evolving agenda; report outs to wiki) (riverboat for an additional charge; American Museum of Science & Energy in Oak Ridge)
-:*Day 4 (Friday) - Committee Meetings; FUNding Friday (over at noon)
-Possible Speakers:
+====Possible Side trips====
-*Jim Rogers, Duke Energy
+* Tour of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.  Will need to be set up ahead of time, but possible.
