Theme Options

• Past ESIP Meeting Themes

Types of breakouts

• Talk (e.g., Powerpoint)
• Demonstration (online software or web-site walk-through
• Problem-solving session (facilitated discussion among participants to address a specific problem)
• Tutorial/Training (instructor-led classroom-style session to teach attendees)
• Panel Session
• Writing Session
• Hack Sprint (mini Hackathon)

May also think about breaking breakouts into shorter/longer chunks

Discussion and notes

Visioneers Meeting 8/31/15

Participants: Erin R., Annie B., Dan K., Rebecca F., Denise H., Bruce C., Ken K. and Jamie R.

• Denise H. suggested Lavalier microphones and an ipad or dedicated laptop to improve remote participation.
• The DC area for summer meetings has issues (cost, hotel coverage). Asheville's new collaborative workspace and NOAA connections are positives.
• Highlight the success story of the Drone Cluster as something that ESIP can facilitate.
• Visioneers could come up with a new name that combines BOF and Hackerspace, i.e. a place to connect that can also be action-oriented.
• Winter Meeting Theme could align with common-theme suggestions from ESIP meeting (Denise H. to share G-doc) surveys AND the needs of NOAA and NASA.
• Ask our NOAA and NASA connections about theme ideas .
• Next Visioneers Meeting in 2-3 weeks (Erin R. or AB to suggest meeting time)
