- original proposal to SEEK exec staff
- Raise awareness about the ecoinformatics tools we are producing
- Raise awareness of/and provide publicity for projects and organizations involved in developing ecoinformatics tools
- Demo and showcase ecoinformatics tools
- Gather important user feedback on ecoinformatics tools
- Interact with our user community
- demos of ecoinformatics tools
- place to do informal mini-usability testing
- place for users to fill out feedback questionnaires
- securing a booth (Sam has already made the initial inquiries on this and we await word back from the conference committee)
- single booth or double booth?
- number of computers needed?
- number of staff needed to work the booth?
- list of give-aways and prizes needed?
- connectivity and tech support available?
- when/where to ship materials before conference
- tools grouped by function rather than organizations, suggested areas from Matt are:
- Metadata and data acquisition
- Taxonomy and collections management
- Data storage and discovery frameworks
- data integration
- analysis and modeling
- planned/announced times for specific sets of demos
- ad hoc demos
- ad hoc mini-usability tests
- ad hoc feedback opportunities
We can't of course do them all and will have to pare the list and choose a small number to demo and showcase.
