      • Carol Meyer reported that the Winter Program is shaping up and today is the soft deadline for sessions. Registration is slow to get started, but we expect an uptick as we get closer to the meeting. The plenaries are shaping up. We have commitments from NOAA, USGS and NITRD to the Data Study Vision Panel on the first day. We are still waiting for NASA and looking for a DOE contact. We also have a speaker from Software Carpentry and we have an invitation extended. We will start the second day with business meeting and then follow with a panel on Open Data in Government and implementation challenges. A request was made to ExCom for pictures from ESIP pasts - please send to Erin. Jeff DLB is leading a jam session during the Poster session/reception - contact Jeff.
    • Looking Ahead to Summer 2014 - venues
      • Erin Robinson reported on the location search update. We received a proposal from Copper Mountain, CO, a ski resort, that is within our budget. It is about a 90 min shuttle ride to Copper from the Denver Airport. The group discussed the appearance, but many thought the location was good and given our struggle finding a location the group decided to go ahead and lock Copper down. Erin will move ahead with the contract.
