Todo - Ask Jeff to send out google calendar information

Rebecca has place set up for materials about this candidate to be available to the group.

Who wants to be involved in the interview process?
Line and Damian offered to Deb to talk to candidate if she wants to.  
Suggestion - have a group telecon with the leading post doc candidate
Great idea.

todo - doodle poll for f2f meeting.  - request comments about 2, 2.5, or 3 day
we have approval for stanford to be the site.
one request - NOT the last week in feb
2.5 or 3 day meeting target
length of the meeting may be agenda driven

Relevant meetings:  
EarthCube:  Deb went to a piece of it.  A lot of excellent people involved. About 140.  Heavily facilitated from poeple who have facilitation training.  Tim Killean leaves 6 months from now.  Up to 10% of entire contract can be added by new efforts?  Consensus-driven and community effort.  What will happen in the near term?

Deb: Use semantically-enabled tools to access DataONE datasets using ORNL DAAC datasets as examples.  Bring post-doc up to speed into this.

Line's presentation - 
we were all focused on the poster so no one took notes but line is looking for feeback.  her poster can be accessed from line 39 above.
