Thank you Friedrich (@friedrich1) ! I find it VERY nice. Bravo !

I think you could add 2 things but I let you decide where and how.

1. preprint servers enable authors to DECIDE themselves exactly WHEN a msc is ready to be read by others. This is a form of re-empowerment of researchers. For me one if not the most fundamental point of preprint process. I always convinve my audience with this point. ;-)
2. The fact the that open science is a non profit independent organisation is also very important. you could add this somewhere. (maybe in the questions ? or next to their logo ?)

Thanks for the nice work.

Hi All! Spoken to AGU/ESSOAr; they too are looking forward to the townhall. Courtesy of @friedrich1's efforts, we almost have some slides ready for the Townhall, the PICO, and, perhaps, a short presentation in the ECR lounge. @danielnust, @geoda, @friedrich1, and @brandon (if attending), would you be willing to jointly represent us at the Townhall? Likw I said, we have the material, and I'm happy to give you a call to talk through anything of concern. Please let me know. And if anyone is listening in who would like to present for 10 mins at the ECR lounge, please let me know! Thanks, Chris

Hi Friedrich/All,

Please see attached an updated version of the slides. I haven’t really tampered with the ‘madness’ slides for the 2-minute PICO introduction, but
I have added quite a bit more material to the later sections, mainly anticipating the types of questions you might be asked. I have also added comments to many of the slides I have added, indicating why I added them. I hope this is clear.

Please let me know what you think. And if anyone wants some EarthArXiv stickers sending to them ahead of EGU, please let me know. I can pop them
in the post tomorrow morning, such that they can perhaps hit you in Vienna!

Thanks for working on the slides. I will see how we can model them for the townhall presentation then. So who will share the stage? Would be great to meet you then on monday at lunch, so we can get to know each other.

Be great to see some EarthArXiv sticker/presentation photos from EGU... Tweet em!

Hi Friedrich,

As I said at the start of this thread, I now won’t be attending EGU, hence my call to the broader EarthArXiv community to see who could take my place. Brooks Hanson, AGU’s publication director, will be there, maybe along with one other person from AGU.
So I’ll ask again if anyone is happy to join Friedrich on Monday evening for the townhall? It would be good to get a broader set of views.

Thanks,

Chris

@christopherjackson3 I'll be happy to help for the townhall and the PICO.
I'll a bit tight for me, as my talk is Tuesday very early morning and it's only half way there... For the arrangements on the presentation, few things:
- I don't know where you guys are changing the presentation, and I saw the PICO by Friedrich, but just because is posted here.
- I'd love to Skype-/Hangout-/TeamViewer-/YounameIt-meet. I think the best is to see how you do the presentation, and then comment on it. With that, I think it'll suffice
- I leave my place to catch the plane at 3pm tomorrow

@friedrich1 We can meet for lunch, though we know each other already (of course, I see your photo with your face, and you don't see mine, but I'm sure you remember me XD)
- Feedback on the PICO I know of (if agreed, I might add these changes):
Add in the Let`s talk about section more about the ''let' s get in touch'' part,
making emphasis on our twitter site
This is to increase the number of followers, and to show that EarthArXiv is a preprint server that is responsive and close to the users (the creators are users!)

Specific info we can add:
- xx folowers
- main followers coming from xx countries
- visibility of the preprint (examples here of how we post sth once a preprint is published, or how the users themselves do it
- engagement of the community (examples here of discussion and comments based on a post refering to a preprint).

Okay, great! We can have call tomorrow maybe around 11?

Thanks Both. How about we have a Skype chat tomorrow morning? Would that work? And I got this graph from @mattspitzer showing EarthArXiv's growth during our first few months; looking steady! Worth adding this in to the presentations, along with the good suggestions by @geoda. Chris
