EGU meetup

Hi All! @bcaron beat me to the punch RE: EGU. Unfortunately, it now looks like I'll be unable to attend. I was supposed to be on family holiday this week, but that's had to move, at last minute due to some family-related issues, to next week. Hence I'll have to miss EGU. This is shit, as I've already paid for the registration and accommodation, and had set-up things with AGU for the ESSOAr/preprint discussion at the Town Hall meeting on Monday night. I'd also arranged a PICO in one of the sessions, as well as an informal presentation in the ECR lounge. Is anyone else attending and able to take on some of these tasks? I have stickers, flyers, and some updated FAQ materials. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks, Chris

I would be happy to take over the PICO presentation on Friday. Would be even happier if someone could join me. Did you have time to prepare the PICO already?

I can partner up with Friedrich for this. I feel that we might need some guidelines to cover up all those activities...

Thanks Both!

We have some slides that can be used, plus we should be able to provide updated user statistics.

I will attend the townhall, but not sure what I could take over in discussing with the organisations you mention, they look kind of "official". Happy to be briefed during the next days if you think that could work.

What I mean is what Daniel says... We need "mentoring" for fruitful outcomes in these events

Hi All,

Happy to set-up a group Skype chat later this week.

In short, AGU (providers of ESSOAr) and use get to share the stage and jointing advocate for the use of preprints in the Earth Sciences. In essence, there will be no ‘competition’ to advertise our
service as better than theirs, and, in fact, I think it is more important for you to talk from your personal perspective as to why you think preprints might be beneficial. Stuff related to the OSF infrastructure, moderation approaches, etc, I can provide you
with via the FAQ slides, which are currently on the ‘Resources’ bit of the website, but which can updated with some new numbers, etc.

These general comments go to the PICO on the Friday too.

I can model the existing slides into a PICO to make it more interactive.

Hi Friedrich,

That would be great! Could you then bounce back to me for some tweaks, edits, etc, that might also be useful for the townhall on Monday?
I’m in touch with AGU to see what their plans are for that.

This is how far I got with PICO, would be happy to get feedback. Also, I think we could add a bit more in the "Lets talk about"-section - any ideas? Best is to view the presentation in fullscreen and use the mouse for navigation (or your touchscreen of course).
