Monday Update: AGU | Winter Meeting | Award Nominations

Submitted by administrator on Mon, 11/28/2011 - 12:14

I hope for those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving, you had a nice holiday weekend. As things quieted down last week, it gave me a chance to reflect on how thankful I am for the vibrant participation in the ESIP Federation. We couldn't do this without all of you :)  

AGU is in less than two weeks. Last call to plug your event or session on the ESIP flyer. Send me 1-2 sentences. If you've already sent from a previous email, I've got those. 
 
ESIP Winter Meeting - December 2 is the last day for early bird registration. The price for all types goes up $100 after that. We have a hotel room block from Jan. 3-6, 2012. The last day to get the ESIP rate is December 13. 
 
As a way to quantify the outcomes of the ESIP meetings, we worked with the Visioneers and many of the breakout session leads to develop goals for the meeting. If you have input please add/edit the goals on the wiki.    

New ESIP Awards: The Partnership Committee created two new ESIP awards to recognize outstanding contributions from our community - the President's Award and the ESIP of the Year. Anyone can nominate and we are accepting nominations through Dec. 1 using this form.  If you have any questions feel free to email Carol or me. 

Telecons this week: Semantic Web, Tues, 12 pm EST.
