Ideas regarding the Retreat format

  • Breakout groups
  • One large discussion group
  • Presentations

Ideas for discussion topics at the Retreat

General discussion (after outline in a.m. from David, Larry)

  • Share information from our meeting with NSF, including the new cooperative agreement and panel review summary
  • Status update about the project
    • Status of the portal and use
    • Scope of data storage (ACIS)
    • Role of postdocs and students in iDigBio — what are they supposed to be doing?
    • Citizen Science
    • K-12 initiatives

Sustainability

  • How to make our training sustainable
    • Converting our training materials for posterity/sustainability
      • Perhaps partner with Coursera (or a firm like them)
    • Funding for participant support will be declining after 2017
  • Sustainability issues for iDigBio + TCNs
    • Historical Knowledge and Documents
      • Do TCNs have robust plans for sharing developed workflows / protocols / policies (on digitization, imaging, archiving, communication strategies,...)
      • Do they archive plans for these documents?
        • Can we provide this?
      • TCN Staff (at high, middle, and in-the-trenches) are amassing a wealth of knowledge about digitization. When their funding ends, a great deal of this may be lost.
        • How do we include these TCNs in future summits?
        • Is there a role for some Video Exit Interviews (oral interviews), to capture this knowledge? Perhaps Shari and Betty could set something up?
  • Automation

Website update and sustainability

    • Increase role of community in maintaining content -> larger role for Wiki; lesser role for Drupal
    • Content organization/re-organization
    • Facelift? (In consultation with Jeremy - he is against this.: JM)
  • Mendeley vs. Biblio
    • Improved discoverability & functionality?
    • All content in one location?
    • Get a Library Science grad student to help us with our document repository concerns (I asked Greg R. to look for someone: JM)

Tools Knowledge in the Community

  • Developing a strategy for sharing what tools are out there
  • Sharing information about skills researchers need to use particular tools
    • Could get lots of info from iPlant and Data Carpentry about the skills problems people run into when trying to use any of the community tools for research.
      • Use this to strategically point people to where they can transform their data, or learn a skill.
    • NOTE: skills needed are mostly the same across the data providers and researchers based on the experience of COLLAB-IT, Data and Software Carpentry.
  • Everyone watch this video together (DP, KL, MC)
  • The value of blitzes and hackathons

Value added services

  • Annotations workflows - Analyzing the needs, expectations and desires of submiters, curators, and observers around the collection and presentation of annotations.
  • The new iDigBio Outlier Detection and Documentation by Collectors (or the ODD Collectors) Working Group (Austin and Katie S)

E&O

  • Audiences for iDigBio E&O (Shari proposed -- we can use ADBC Audience Table or the discussion slides developed from the Summit V E&O breakout session)
    • Should we prioritize?
    • E&O Workshops proposed by NSF
    • iPlant
    • How to work with K-12 for TCNs/Collections Community (Proposed by Roland Roberts at the Summit)
  • The value of blitzes and hackathons
  • New directions for the Libraries of Life Augmented Reality app and cards; sustainability of them (Austin)
  • New directions for WeDigBio and its sustainability (Austin and Libby)
  • 2016 Education and Outreach Webinar Series (Molly can share the voting results, and the top 8 that she proposes we start with)
  • What about developing a MOOC (Proposed by Austin at the Summit)
