Open Comment Section
- What are the common goals of GOAT??
- Looking at the ideas from the groups consciousness in the morning
- lack of representation
- lack of technical support
- funding
- missing tech pieces
- lack of awareness
- lack of beacon on the hill
- reduce duplication of effects
- knowledge sharing
- interoperability
- information flows
- shared data
Looking to Next Year
- personal work
- personal relationships
- users and developers are not connecting with
- hackathons and meetups throughout the year
- working groups throughout the year
- longer term collaborations
- in residence programs
- We need successful pilot projects to come out of this
- Burn out and hands on…
- how to avoid info overload
ACTIONABLES
Specific use case…
come up with an applied hackathon that approaches a specific challenge
LEE volunteers
Write ups
3 slide summaries of what happened
Dennis and Mike and Dorn will do a write up on the event
- Need images
We want diversity of voices
Is this a summary – is it what we are as a group?
Whoever shows up to edit helps determine the group… may not be democratic, but it is functional… we role with that so we don’t get stuck!
A thank you to the funders…
We need a google drive of photos to be put together in one place
Governance
what will this community look like? Do we need a board? What is the structure of this organization?
Come up with a statement of values
Dave Volunteers
When we talk about governance
how with loose membership do we have ownership
how do include farmers in the schema,
and how do we come up with a neutral schema that is not closed to othe rpeople participating in it.
think membership rather than ownership
form a working group on Data
Talking about GOAT
If you are writing on your own opinion it is okay to go ahead
If you are writing on the perspective of the GOAT then it needs some feedback maybe put it on GIT
seeing open as good thing rather than worrying
concern, if you are going to write something about goat you need to provie the community a heads up to review.
Is that a norm we want to have?
What about tweets or personal reflections?
When there are things that really represent or speak of something as a group it would be good to post it on the forum
write it on google doc for collaboration
Actions members from the meeting will take on
Mike will create a directory structure for all these things
Juliet will herd cats around people’s work stack
maybe we can use stack share as the tool for this
Dave will create iteration one ag sensor kit for dummies for people to be able to use and host a webinar
Barbara volunteers to help
