The basics of project evaluation will be presented via a combination of presentations and hands-on activities and conducted by an evaluation professional. Using a case study specific to Earth Science data and/or applied research, participants will have the opportunity to practice key steps in project evaluation such as development of evaluation questions, identification of project metrics and how to put together a Logic Model. REQUEST: All day Tuesday, July 17th +

This is a session for anyone who's interested in handling NASA HDF/HDF-EOS data.
We'll give you some introduction to the different data formats, visualization tools, and programming examples for an end-user who has never used Earth Science data in HDF/HDF-EOS file format.
Then, we'll cover some advanced topics such as CF conventions, OPeNDAP, and long-term preservation for data producers and application developers. Please bring any issue or problem that you encountered with NASA HDF/HDF-EOS data and we can discuss it. +

This session focuses on the case studies of the open source softwares- Geoportal server and EDRN Portal. Usability tests were conducted with both users and developers by NOAA NODC. The purpose of the test was to collect feedbacks from the users and developers in an organized way. The results from the test can help the developers of the open source tool to find a better way in meeting the users' needs. This session will also discuss the evaluation of the Geoportal Server from the developer's aspect in order to share the best practices.
Agenda (draft):
a. The increasing usage of the open source software among ESIP communities and the importance of the evaluation of the popular open source tools
b. EDRN Portal and Usability test
c. Geoportal Server and Usability test from the users and developers on basic functions
d. Geoportal Server's Usability evaluation from the developers for the advanced functions (CS-W) +

This session is to share and discuss the future cloud computing directions in support of Earth sciences and includes:
*P&S Testbed tasks (5 minutes each)
*ESIP members to demonstrate their cloud project (5 minutes each)
*Opportunities and future directions
*EarthCube participation and activities?
*Collective reference architectures and recommendations?
*Discuss potential opportunities from agencies, such as NSF, NASA, EPA, etc. to assess the possibility for potential proposal and
*Discuss the possibility of utilize cloud computing for supporting organizational IT needs.
*What we should be doing next year as a cluster? +

This session will feature technology tools that enable collaboration without travel (and minimum carbon) as presented by ESIP members who use these tools in Education initiatives. Demonstrations will be accompanied by a discussion of associated best practices. The emphasis will be on free and low cost options that you can use right away. No long learning curve in this workshop!
Workshop presentions will feature:
WebEX—It can do more than you think
Facebook—Creating an online community to support your project
Twitter—Stay connected 140 characters at a time
join.me – Instant, easy and FREE remote screen sharing
Google Sites—collaborate over the same document
Google Forms—From quick surveys to formalized data collection
Google groups—Stay in touch, without sharing with the whole world
BB Collaborate—Webinars built for education
Mobile Apps—share data anywhere with anyone
Drupal—online workspaces, discussion boards and more +

This session will host a series of Open Source for NASA Science Data Systems talks, focusing on:
* Deployments
* Licensing, Attribution and Redistribution issues in Open Source Software
* Sharing Software Between Centers: Success Stories
* Short Lightning Talks
* How NASA open source software can help the ESDIS project
* Legal/IP issues in Open Source Software
We will solicit between 4-6 30 min talks from leaders in the NASA Earth Science Data Systems Community and from leaders in the broader open source community from which NASA leverages (e.g., from NetCDF/UCAR, HDF5-group, GDAL, PostGIS, etc.). In addition, we will have 2 focused discussion sections with those in attendance to digest and learn from the talks given. Community feedback will be an important aspect of the workshop, as will sharing "tribal knowledge" from those in the open source community.
We expect strong synergy between the Geospatial Cluster and this workshop, including participation and attendance. +

This session will provide an overview of the DataONE architecture, explain the benefits for groups and institutions to publish data as a Member Node, provide hands-on tutorials in how to establish a Member Node using various software systems, and demonstrate how to use the DataONE web services to access content from client applications. By the end of the session, participants will have a detailed knowledge of the design of the DataONE architecture, the services that DataONE provides to its Member Nodes, and the technical details needed to establish a Member Node at their own site or institution and to build client applications. The session will target information managers, graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and research technicians who manage environmental data at a site as well as people who develop data management and analysis software supporting researchers. +

ToolMatch (http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/ToolMatch) is a community-built set of semantic web applications to match datasets up with the tools that work on them. Simply by contributing information about datasets and the tools that work with them, we will be able to present data users with a comprehensive list of useful, appropriate tools. ToolMatch is currently underway within the Semantic Web cluster. Depending on where we are at the time of the workshop, the Implementation Party may consist of working on application and ruleset design, integration, and population of the ToolMatch database. Yes, we will actually be baking ToolMatch right there in Madison! +

What once was the Preservation and Stewardship cluster is now a full-fledged committee with responsibilities to the larger ESIP community. In this session we will review the status of our ongoing activities and set the path forward for the next six months. +
