Hi all: LC is beginning to plan the summer NDIIPP/NDSA meeting July 19-21. Looks like it's shaking out to be something like: 1 day open session (with "big name" speakers) 1 1/2 day NDSA meeting (open to NDSA members and possible other invited folks) There is talk of having the various working groups "host" a workshop during the NDSA meeting days. These will vary in length depending on the needs of the group (anywhere from 90 min. to 3 hrs. or whatever). The workshops will be not limited to the particular WG members - so, CWG could host a session and anyone could come from the NDSA. There will likely be some concurrent sessions (for instance, Content and Innovation could be going on at the same time). The idea is that during these workshops something will be created, something concrete. Maybe it is requirements, or wireframes, or design or something, or some slogans for the ndsa, whatever we want. The working groups are being asked to come up with one or two proposals for what these workshops might cover, by the week of April 18th. We'll talk about this on the call next week, but I wanted to get this to you sooner and hopefully start a discussion on the list about what we might do, as the Content WG, in July. Just to seed the discussion, one idea came to mind about related to our Group A work: http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Tentative_Work_Plan_for_Content_Registry We might be at a stage by July to work in person on some element of this step: "Review the various registries and list out the best features and/or project metadata, then investigate options for creating our own registry." Maybe we could propose a session to determine what fields of data we want our registry to include, and to start designing what the registry input methods or process looks like, or what public access might look like? We'll need to provide back to the meeting coordinators: --Basic idea --Resources needed (do we need a programmer or designer to help?) --How much time we think we need Let's brainstorm!
