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
