Program Update

Christine Di Bella

  • Staff Interface Enhancement Group delivered its recommendations before the December break. Currently reviewing and starting to put them together into projects for consideration by the Development Prioritization subteam, community, or possibly outside consultants as appropriate
  • Expect next release to come out at the end of January - some bug fixes and small features, as well as one part of the agents specification (ability to add additional required fields)
  • First regional member forum is scheduled for Boston on May 3; after that will be Irvine, California, in June, and then likely Kansas City in the fall. Currently pursuing sites for the Annual Member Forum, which will be in Washington, DC, on August 14. Please get in touch with Kim if you'd like to participate in the planning of any of these, or can host.

Discussion regarding the member forums: Regional forums will be similar to the annual forum, on a smaller scale. A presentation and a workshop/hands-on activity will be scheduled, as well as a social component.
