    • Jim Wilson to follow up with Joe on this to find out what he needed and advise
• Speaking Engagement Framework for Awareness (only AgGateway specific presentations):
  • Weekly staff calls - 1st week of month, Susan reports out on communications activities

  • Jeremy W Wilson to put this on the PAC meeting agenda to inform of this process and ask speakers to log (September 7).

The page is here: Precision Ag Council Speaking Engagements

• • • Shannon Haringx (Unlicensed) to coordinate with Andres to make sure log is on wiki before the 9/7 PAC meeting.
• New business:
  • Jim - we need to cleanup and align ADAPT source code with ...
    • Versioning needs to be established - highly confusing
    • Jim Wilson to schedule an ADAPT technical team call to resolve this - Jim touched base with several people on this
  • Need to be mindful of ADAPT being perceived as a standard rather than a toolkit (by Europeans) - any ADAPT talking points need to be clear on this.
  • Need to be able to communicate about ADAPT to a less technical audience about how ADAPT makes their world better
  • Jim is working on ADAPT videos and will finish soon. Need to be shortened in length.
  • Should we do a press release on PAIL following the Irrigation Professional article?
    • Dan Berne (Unlicensed) to get back to Susan on this for timing
