Participants

Diane Papineau, Julie Sweetkind-Singer, Bob Downs, Curtis Pulford, Brett Abrams, Steve Short, Bob Nutsch, Steve Morris

Meeting Notes

The call featured a presentation from Diane Papineau of the state of Montana who is heading to the URISA conference. She shared her slides for the conference for comment.

That lead into a discussion on ways for the NDSA and wider geospatial preservation community to engage with the Geospatial Platform activity, following on the June 2013 call featuring Jerry Johnston, the GIO from the Dept. of Interior, and the Geo subgroup call in July where we discussed the issue further. Diane's slides from the July meeting are available here.

The slides and the discussion that came out of them lead to the composing of a white paper on Platform engagement.

Julie talked about Open Geoportal.org Stanford (in production in Sept.), Tufts, Harvard, MIT, UC-Berkeley.
