Plans for Winter meeting

• Update from Erin
  • Theme is around collaboration
  • First draft of the agenda is up
  • Question about where Semantic Web will fit in (into existing sections)
    • Chris suggested one session for Semantic Web planning
  • Bigger focus of upcoming meeting is ESC and the interoperability stack
    • ESC has session on first afternoon plus a ESC charrette on the last afternoon
    • Link: [1]
  • Review from summer
    • One session at the end of the summer meeting (to wrap up business and to avoid clashes with other clusters)
    • What are the opinions of the cluster for having an additional meeting?
    • Thursday Afternoon 4-5:30 has the least number of clashes with other members clusters
