6/13/2013¶

Matt, Scott, Syd, Sam, Corinna

Agenda
Action items from last meeting
Scott - report from the Science Council meeting re. datasets
Matt - intro to project management system and start of tracking Community Change indices
Corinna - start list of participants for first workshop at NCEAS

Notes
Scott announced the project at the LTER Science Council meeting
Important to remember is that we have support to clean data and document them in EML. We are not expecting the information managers at other sites to add this to their tasks. We can take datasets that have at least 10 data points at even time intervals.

Action items:
Matt: add functionality to this project management system to track datasets from a general idea of its existence to actually being in the NIS/DataONE
Corinna: start adding Community Change indices from the proposal to redmine.

Today we filled Syd in a bit on her role in the project and talked some more about the first workshop in spring 2014.

Action items:
Corinna - doodle for the community workshop in February/March and set date
Syd - download and explore Kepler
Scott and Syd - start list of community change metrics that we want to encode
Matt - hire programmer
