GO Managers, Weds. Sept. 12 8 AM PDT / 10 AM CDT / 11 AM EDT / 4 PM BST

Agenda/chair: David
Minutes: Eurie
Present: Chris, David, Eurie, Jen, Judy, Midori, Pascale, Suzi

Review Action Items from previous meeting

Carried over from Aug. 29:

  • Chris: Add replaced_by & consider tags to database

Now in the schema and loading code is there. There is a follow up to-do item to get AmiGO to display the tags.

  • Chris: Write abstract for Biocurator meeting

Will do it today.

  • Individual managers: Fill in progress report for SAB.

Progress report available as a wiki page - it's under resources available for the GO Resource. There was slight preference for editing a Word document. Judy will also provide a link to download the Word document from the wiki. And she will send it out to the managers list so that we can edit the word document as a group.

  • Managers: Have a look at the schedule on the wiki for the Princeton meetings. Comment where appropriate.
    • The 9-year time line should be done among PIs. They can report back but there should be some preliminary discussion.
    • Before the meeting, everyone look for their name and try to prune the list of action items before the start of the meeting. All the action items will be put on the wiki
    • Judy will add an advocacy item to the agenda.
    • Will the PI leads on the aims or the managers do the presentation? PIs will discuss on the call that immediately follows.
    • Progress reports at GOC meeting should parallel the progress reports at the SAB meeting.
    • SAB meeting: we will divide into quarters and present progress and future plans at the same time. If there are issues being discussed, then it can be earmarked for further discussion in the afternoon.
    • GOC meeting: we will divide into quarters and only present progress information.
    • Managers should take a look and suggest organization of the meeting. Also, if there are wiki pages that provide background information, managers should link these pages from the agenda item.

Individual Manager reports

Lots of ideas from Ewan Birney. Peter is coming for the GOC meeting so Jen will list issues on the wiki.

  • What in the world is moodle?

If Jen sends screen shots and text to this company, they will make a tutorial. It's not going to be EBI-branded. Yes, Jen should spend time on it. And we should proof the result well.
