8 November 2013  

Attending: Laura, Rebecca, Bruce, Amber, John

Regrets:  Matt, Dave 


Agenda: 
        1. High profile issues (or current items of interest)
        
        OPeNDAP and DSpace contracts - current status?  Waiting on Dave for input; consider if we can include Slender Node in this activity.  Other ORNL data repositories and MPC-TerraPop could really benefit from SN (perhaps even this is the only/best way to get these guys online)

        Slender Node - (harvesting metadata from sites or links to data, i.e. a tier 0)    (Laura and Bruce to talk about looking at potential MNs and identifying   OAI-PMH, etc.)   
        
        Replication policy change - we think we need to get together with CCIT and MNs and discuss - I understand there were some concerns??  We need Matt for this one.  
        Question: is there any replication going on through D1 right now?  
        Bruce is 60% sure that there is some replication going on.
            KNB, TFRI, PISCO, ESA, eBird: currently tier 4
            USANPN (currently tier 1 looking to move to tier 4)
            LTER's replication to KNB is not through D1
        >>>>>>  Look at the flag that says (something like) I can take/give replication - what does that really mean - need Matt/Dave
        
        Barriers to MN implementation discussion?  was this a separate conversation at LT?  No, but we need to get back to this soon.  There are technical issues (like "need DSpace" as a blocker for UTK, etc.), documentation issues (certificates, etc.), policy issues at the MN, and other blockers.

        Bruce has submitted a proposal for a full-day MN workshop at the IDCC meeting in San Francisco in February 2014.  Proposal accepted, workshop scheduled for Monday, 24 February.  Names on proposal (so far): Amber, Bruce, Dave, +CCIT.  Need to discuss who are the invitees:  Ideas:  Hannu, maybe a slot or two from USGS, Australian folks, DFC, USCarolina, 
        Need to know when registration opens ASAP.
         
        Redmine backlog - those who contacted us -  I'm contacting the originators of the requests and not hearing back  from some of them.  Perhaps I need to check into other contact people  (original requestor has moved on?).  Send a list to Rebecca of contacts.
        
        Issues with test environment (webtester) - Is there a redmine ticket to address maintenance on the webtester?  Need Dave for this one maybe.(maybe outsource?)
                
        Documentation
            MN landing page - good to go for now
            Details under landing page - Laura/Rob working on previously
            MN dashboard - want to share with members of the MN Forum, need to have Chris present; need to clean it up re: comments/suggestions from AHM and get go-ahead from LT before sharing.  Especially need to clean up the data (doesn't change before your eyes)

        Immutability -  plan to prototype the series ID approach prior to RSV in February - need Dave

        2. Status of MNs
        3. Old action items
        
        4. Not-high profile issues
         
        5. Around the room
            Rebecca: nothing today
            Amber: start printing materials for AGU, rehashed MN fact sheet (go with what we have, but there are other changes that can be made later)
            Bruce: nothing today
            John: nada
            Laura: nothing today
