=========================
COmanage PR / Outreach
It could be helpful to do more outreach about COmanage to CIOs and Researchers, focusing on purpose, goals and benefits
- Heather started working on a 2-pager for CIOs and others, including a graphic, and Ken is reviewing this
- ScottK will be presenting info about COmaange to an upcoming gathering of astronomers in Amsterdam
- It was noted that a possible selling point is that IdM is an area where there is overlap in the needs of many big science VOs
(whereas in other areas each VO is quite unique)
- When the new Internet2 PAGS (program advisory groups) spin up to replace the Advisory Councils, some outreach to the new PAGs will be helpful
- A case study on how LIGO is benefiting from the COmanage registry would be useful. Hope to create this before long, but not sure if it can be done by FMM; possibly the case will not be ready until after FMM.
Fall Member Meeting
- Heather submitted a session proposal titled "Recursive Collaboration: combining collaboration tools to support e-science"
- Speakers would be ScottK, Remco and Heather
- This was submitted in the "Emerging Collaborations and Applications" Area of Interest
- Emily will submit a request for COmanage WG session at FMM
- Will most likely want to hold a COmanage Developers meeting at FMM, perhaps on Sunday, Sept 30.
- A REFEDs meeting is not expected to happen on that day, since the REFEDs will have met recently in Europe.
