Re: [science-iwg] [location-iwg] X-group collaboration

[Andrew Ross <andrew.ross@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Awesome, thanks Jay, Philip, & Robert. That's what we suspected (good level of interest)... the BoF will be scheduled in the next 24-48 hours kinda thing & I'll reply back to share details.

I'm going to extend the invitation out to IoT too. (Thanks Ian)

In terms of the BoF content... how about to prime the pump for discussion, maybe have one person from each group share a 10 minute overview of what the group is doing, and then just open the floor for discussion, sound reasonable?

Obviously we'll want to build based on what comes out of this first session.

At ORNL we count location work as science work, so I'm definitely down!

Yep, a collaboration between the groups sounds very encouraging :-).

I could think of sensors, mapping and scientific research in wildlife biology ... or in combination with chemistry ... my favourite one. In my opinion, there's a huge potential.

One of the things the group expressed interest in was collaborating with the Science working group, and IoT too. The feeling was there will be interesting intersections and common interest. The group felt this was stronger than the connection the group feels with the large community developing the Eclipse platform & IDE.

People could also subscribe to both lists I suppose. I'm happy to help nurture this... what do you all need/want?
