CfP Presentations - 0 (deadline August 30) If we haven't had a reasonable number of presentations submitted by our next call (8/27) we should consider soliciting some.
CfP Workshops - 1 (deadline August 16) Proposal in the works from Notch8 and possibly from the Marketing WG. Agreed to extend the published deadline by one week and during that time to nudge some of the 'usual suspects'. RG to deal with email announcing extension 8/17. Accept any late workshop proposals that we have the bandwidth to deal with.
They're building out agenda for kickoff meeting, topic facilitator guidance, and shared development resources. Expecting a call for topic creation.Jeremy Friesen
Proposed Model Ask poster submitter to identify time slots 19-21 Oct when the could be available synchronously to discuss their poster. Program Committee then to allocate each a 30 minute slot in the 'normal' three hour time window. Ask Partners during their call 8/14 for a sanity check on this process (RG). Final discussion next call before putting out a CfP.
Jon Cameron (IU Zoom webinar admin) - DS to reach out and request that he identify backup(s) in case of illness etc.
Social Event Team
Email 8/17 for social team volunteers to "get going early September" (RG). The team will solicit ideas for events once formed although we (the PC) might seed a couple.
Presentation and Workshop Evaluation document Preliminary discussion but work deferred until we know how many presentations we are likely to be dealing with.
