Present:
Apologies:
One update - setting up a legal entity - meeting with Morris to discuss, so should have an update by the afternoon. Looking into the feasible of using UMCG as the base. Also spoke to Becca, as would take pressure off her back, and provide a means of paying people. Might have some money to help. Wait for her to return.
Struggling to get a lead for risk response process
Quality assurance hasn't progressed at all - people busy - hard to know where this is going and how to move this forward. Low attendance at the meetings - hard to know what day is best to meet - also missing a clear team.
No progress on having an external meeting. Should we raise this in the steering committee to try and move this forward?
-> Andrei described ECR group in Recap-preterm.
-> Action point - raise in steering committee meeting - set a date already - invite specific people to present - and also leave it open to people to volunteer. Have a mix of presentations from each of the themes and important developments/needed developments. Could also be a way to move forward the quality assurance.
->Quality assurance would be a good to incorporate into the SSI funding (either this round or future rounds)
-Finished updates in the Wiki (as much as can be done)
-> gave a demo (improved layout, detailed guidance/instructions for developing packages and analysis tutorials)
-Andrei: are there plans to also add to website, once this is improved? (No current plan, but could be done)
-Conference website - Tim has people lined up for the technical workshop and will update introductory workshop, and also incorporate an intial overview session at the start of the workshops. The
-Failed to set up a meeting, so will just use these Process group meetings
-> agreed that that works for all Themes
-> next meeting on 9th September (going forward second Tuesday of every other month)
-Posted the newsletter on LinkedIn
-> Also post on the forum as a pdf attachment
-> Next time share a month in advance for people to add
-> Once or twice a year
-Would be good to work out how to develop a mailing list - but will come with the legal entity
-Need a tool to manage mailing lists - as people need to be able to sign up and opt out. Mailman and Sympa. Can have different types of mailing lists (e.g. for security alerts, newsletters). Need an institution to run it. But should wait for the legal entity to be established before setting this up (but depends a bit on how long this will take to set up - either through Morris and UMCG - or through SSI, which would take longer).
-Stuart - asked Becca about adding maps
-Andrei - has set up a test dev website - Tim has access - can use this to test out plugins etc. - others welcome to have access too
-Discussed the process of adding Roberto as a voting member
-> propose that he first explores whether he wants to contribute to any of the themes, and from there decide if he wants to become a voting memeber
