[gensc-biodiversity-wg] [Gensc-developers] GSC 14 hackathon Sept 20-21

[Dawn Field]

Dear Hilmar,

We are certainly open for co-sponsoring if you wanted to join up the efforts.

What were you thinking for the NESCent event - I wasn't part of the
initial discussions at GSC 12, just heard enough to be happy there was
interest on the NESCent end.

How big an event are you thinking of and what topics?  The more we get
done the better.

best,
Dawn

Incidentally, I was just going to resume the discussion about how best to get the (larger and longer) hackathon at NESCent off the ground that we had slated for the fall during the discussions that led up to the January event. I was also wondering whether there's some kind of summary of the January hackathon (and apologies in advance if it was posted here and I missed it), as a basis for how to go from there to the NESCent event.
