Own drone funding. Then ESIP has its own drone funding. Lots of educators get drones! Balloon flights are being planned for during the eclipse. But would be cool for the teachers to have drone movie clips (40-50 ft up). want to ensure that it will be relatively easy for teachers to stay for Funding Friday because that opportunity is quite significant Drone cluster: holding a workshop or demonstration at the meeting Action Item: When sending out the promo to the educators for the drones workshop— mention the drone cluster and Funding Friday opportunities

ebook Luann & Shelley talking with Randy Russell about the ebook. Having a meeting with him tomorrow Potentially connect with UCAR and post it on their server. Win win situation. Link from UCAR to ESIP wiki, and vice versa. At a minimum a ESIP blogpost to show where we put products. Huge contribution, so don’t want to lose this. Need to ensure that this is a trustworthy source for educators. the Wiki might not be the best place in that case. Larger discussion. Opportunities of figshare - could create a sub portal within the system. Will be getting more information on this in the coming month or so What about copyright? Advocating for a creative commons - free use with attribution so that educators can use and modify as they need. will be a 90 minute session. Should coordinate so that they don’t overlap. Maybe tie them together or connect interested parties? Jane, Lindsay, and Casey are the contact persons to coordinate.
