Random Musings
Identify our common interests and what would be a community "win"
We need:
Quick wins - successes to build an maintain momentum Excitement - it needs to be cool Acceleration of the rate of progress Build communities of practice Build the community knowledge bases Excellent communications - get the word out, show the successes
A near-term success would be delivery of exciting data in a useable form (e.g., data streams accessible from a Window to My Environment-type user interface)
Then would come the question of sustaining that capability.
Aligning our efforts to obtain greater synergy
Find solutions that are attractive and useful both for:
Researchers "Regular" users; decision-makers
Target some products for the general public; give folks a peek at some of the new data from resources like CloudSat and CALIPSO.
