Time	Item	Who	Notes
10 min	update on JGI Answers	Kecia	We completed user testing yesterday, for the most part user's were able to complete tasks. Leila has some improvements to the interface that she will plan to do, but no showstoppers. It is in soft launch now, ie, folks can use it, but I am not planning to send out a sitewide email yet. I am doing a training on Monday to the DSI group, if that goes well than I will send out a site wide email.
10 min	update on Data Science classes	Bill/Simona	We are planning for Fall seminar workshops on: CI (Kirsten's contacts on the hill or Rene, this would be a demo based session) Unit testing (Kirsten's contacts on the hill) Camunda (Duncan in October) AWS session - speak to Alicia about it Best practices for moving pipelines to Cori - by Dan? This should be practice/demo based.
15 minutes	change this meeting frequency?	Kecia	Should this meeting be less frequent now that both projects are in progress - I have changed to be bimonthy. Should we abandon Commons? Should Data Science have it's own web page/wiki with links, maybe tied to JGI-Answers Documentation? - no updates from Bill/Simona
10 minutes	profiles	Jeff(if back from vacay)	update on status of profiles/JGI-Answers project. - no updates

@Kecia Duffy - change meeting to bimonthly
William (Bill) B Andreopoulos - find alternate participant for DI series - Kjiersten Meri Fagnan can help find someone to assist, who could add it to their PMPs.
William (Bill) B Andreopoulos - get a link to the archive page for DSI sessions on the JGI-Answers Documentation Index titled "Data Science education/training/information"
William (Bill) B Andreopoulos - perhaps get a JIRA queue to manage training sessions - or data science edu team drive and put notes in there?
William (Bill) B Andreopoulos - AWS session - speak to Alicia about it.
William (Bill) B Andreopoulos - Speak to Kjiersten Meri Fagnan/NERSC consultants about a practical workshop-like session for moving pipelines from Denovo to Cori. E.g. bring pipelines in and show what is good or bad for a Cori migration.
