  • CSP message
    • The CSP would like to congratulate the TCG for the great work done during last interop. It was a remarkable interop with a lot of very interesting work presented.
    • The CSP supports a session and further in-depth discussions around the VO in the Cloud & Science Platforms.
    • The CSP thinks that it is the right moment for having a plenary around DOIs, VO Registry, data citation practices.
    • The CSP would like to help on improving the visibility of Datalink by encouraging more implementations & by supporting more user tutorials. We think that encouragement of implementations can improve by having more tutorials showing how to discover who provides datalink and what can be done with it. We wonder what the status of the registry is in terms of tutorials and in terms of the description of the protocols that are used on those tutorials. (There was a nice tutorial presented by Mark Taylor and we would like to encourage more of those).
• Next TCG meeting:
  • Currently scheduled Jan 25 @13:00 UTC (Moved a week earlier than what we decided at the TCG mtg; Exec is mtg Jan 31; they want Interop email out to email group by End Jan with Block schedule in place - they are right since we're changing to an in-person meeting and folks need time to plan; would like TCGs review/discussion Block Schedule draft before meeting with Exec.)
