ESIP Update: Summer Meeting WebEx recordings, IT&I Rant/Rave Summary, David Johnson Award and Telecon reminders.

ESIP Update: August 17, 2015

Hi ESIP. I hope this finds everyone enjoying the last gasp of summer. In the spirit of holding onto warm summer memories, Dan Keyes has done a great job of putting together all the WebEx recordings from the 2015 ESIP Summer Meeting, along with presentation slides. Thanks Dan! For those ready to just forge ahead, we have a full week of telecons (see list below) and lots of exciting things to come this fall!

If you have any items you'd like to see included in next week's update, questions or general comments about ESIP, hit reply or email me at annieburgess@esipfed.org. - Annie

Summer Meeting WebEx Recordings

Ag & Climate Resiliency Discussion

IT&I Rant and Rave Summary

Science Software Cluster Meeting

NOAA David Johnson Award

Monday: Data Stewardship

Tuesday: Products and Services

Thursday: Data Discovery

Friday: Science Software

This Discussion Session will be an opportunity to discuss how to actualize the nexus of agriculture, energy and water that connects our two groups and to decide on some near-term actions, as well as some longer-term plans, especially in the context of the ESIP Strategic Plan.

IT&I Rant and Rave Summary
Rich Signell, USGS, presented his work with US Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) on reproducible workflows for ocean science at this month's IT&I Rant/Rave. He used a real-life example where IOOS temperature models and observation data were compared to predicted temperature for the 2015 Boston Light Swim. The US-IOOS requires that data providers use standard web services (OPeNDAP+CF, OGC WMS, OGC SOS) for distributing model products and in situ observations. The services are captured in ISO metadata records and are searchable via standard catalog services (OGC CSW). This presentation demonstrated how to use a reproducible Jupyter Notebook for discovering, accessing and using model and observed water temperatures and currents along the US Coastline.

Science Software Cluster Meeting

This Friday the Science Software Cluster will pick up the conversation from Asilomar about generating some ESIP software stewardship principles. See these notes if you want to catch up on anything from that meeting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YOyuEPvjoW3YnhTgmn9l6rtZJekjhXAUt4WqdCXT9xY/edit#

This is an important meeting to get our work organized and further sketched out for delivering the principles in advance of the Winter 2016 meeting. PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND.

Organized notes and an initial schedule is on the Science Software Github wiki: https://github.com/ESIPFed/Software-Stewardship-Principles/wiki. As always, feel free to edit or add anything that you see there.
