Summary of first GLIC online meeting

[Kiyoko F. Aoki-Kinoshita]

Dear all,

Thanks to those who participated in the first online GLIC meeting yesterday.
The Google Doc has been updated to reflect what we discussed: 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/11yDGY3HSHY0zPWkAdgriE8SXDJJYeW6YWPrUfOnDlSc/edit?ts=575a5495

In summary, we formalized the working groups within GLIC so that subgroups can

focus on different projects.  We also selected group leaders to take charge of the

subgroups.  Please see the Google Doc and update it with your name to indicate which

groups you are interested in participating in.

The next online meeting will be July 28th at the same time, on Google Hangouts 

(unless there are LOTS of people who would prefer Skype - please let us know)

• 9pm Japan

• 2pm Switzerland

• 8am US East Coast

We are also organizing a GLIC meeting/hackathon on the evening of August 26,

from around 4:30-7:30pm

after the Warren Workshop, for those who are attending.  Please write in your name

at the bottom of the Google Doc if you can attend.  If you cannot be there physically

but can participate remotely, please indicate so.

Also, we briefly discussed the possibility of a distributed hackathon in September, where

groups of GLIC members come together at nearby locations (hubs) and Skype/Google Hangout

between these hubs around the same time.  It may become a true 24-hour hackathon

if we cover Europe, Japan and the US!  :)

We can discuss this more at the next GLIC meeting.

For now, please sign up for the working groups soon so that the group leaders can

get in touch and have group meetings as needed.  It would be nice to be able to report

on some progress by the next meeting or in August.

Best,

Kiyoko
