Greetings GREN Mappers,
This message comes on the heels of TNC, the first GNA-G meeting, and the GÉANT General
Assembly, all of which generated substantial interest in and feedback for this project!
Following our usual bi-weekly pattern, we would normally meet today. However, our
recurring meeting series ended just before TNC, so no meeting was scheduled for today.
Further, I am taking some much-needed time off this week after those two events, and it
would be difficult for me to secure a solid WiFi connection in my current location.
That said, I would like to update this group with the technical progress on the NML-based
data format we’ve been prototyping, the prototype visualisation we used to demo the format
at TNC, and the Python library for parsing and writing the format. I’d also like to
discuss our engagement and reception at TNC, GNA-G, and GÉANT GA, and ponder our next
steps. Finally, I would like to take the pulse of the group to see whether there is
appetite to break for the summer, or keep working through it at full speed, or somewhere
in-between.
I propose a meeting next week, Tuesday July 2, at the usual time (12:00 UTC). If there
are no objections, I will schedule that meeting and send the invitation tomorrow.
Cheers,
Ryan
