** NSF Earth Cube
** Chris: Progress and benefits will be incremental over that time

** NASA Earth Exchange
* Eric (NOAA): Some parts of ESC are pretty far along, e.g., virtual observatories, space data
+
** Virtual observatories
** Chris: Yes, these parts represent Prior Art in some cases, components that should be leveraged or incorporated in other cases
+
** International
* Kevin: primary qualities - develop trust, how do you share trust? (good question)
+
* More user stories would be helpful
* Chris M.: How do you incentivize participation? Lots of portals being developed, scope the collaboratory within its funding.

** Project collaboration
* DataNet: how does data extend beyond the grant.  Now: how does the software extend beyond the grant? Open source, etc.?
+
** Recast novice grad student as an educational story?
* Paulo: Earth Science Domain Scenario for collaboratory. Does the infrastructure have to be Earth Science specific?  Is funding more available to a more general approach (such as OCI)?

* Will scientists share?
