2020-03-19 Communications Sub-Committee Meeting

M/S/P

4Open Tasks
  • Susan Ruland (Unlicensed) will finalize the Ag Lab/Soil Testing flyer
  • R. Andres Ferreyra (Unlicensed) to complete ADAPT Timescopes Implementation Note
  • Jessica Trites Rolle investigate what we needed on the Materials Dev List item "ADAPT Capture Crop Rotation"
  • Jessica Trites Rolle to review this page as a layperson/potential user to determine if the ADAPT versioning, breaking changes, and release timing (so companies have a clear timeline so they know good times to implement (e.g., don't wait b/c think it will change 'soon')) guidance makes sense OR should be updated/enhanced with pictures/graphics
  • R. Andres Ferreyra (Unlicensed) and DANIEL DANFORD to discuss this Materials Dev List item: "Guide to business and developer information/tools (e.g., where to find, what is available, where to check for more info) - companies need to understand the package of materials and tools available and how to use in one guide document/page."  Documentation | Data Model
  • Jessica Trites Rolle - contact Nathan Stein, Pix4D, to discuss Nathan or Pix4D (re)joining

ADAPT Capture Crop Rotation is to show how ADAPT can be used to do this task. R. Andres Ferreyra (Unlicensed) noted this is related to plantback restrictions. He's working on products now, and will consider this.

Jessica Trites Rolle reviewed ADAPT versioning page. May need a few updates. Stuart Rhea (Unlicensed) will update today.

R. Andres Ferreyra (Unlicensed), Stuart Rhea (Unlicensed) and DANIEL DANFORD talked about item from materials dev list. Review work is underway.

Pending Action List

Communications Sub-Committee Pending Materials Development List

  • Review list again and add new items (if any)
  • Identify priorities from pending materials list and move to the next agenda as action items

For website redesign (carried forward from 2019 calls):

  • Susan Ruland (Unlicensed) to consider how to tie 'sets' of information together in new website structure (concept of "I want to do x, so I should look at A, B, and D pages or documents")




Current Activity

Key Discussion Items

  • Finalized Ag Lab/Soil Testing flyer
  • Timescopes Implementation Note
  • Guide to business and developer information/tools

Revisit Infographic discussion from 3/19 - Make this a priority item to produce?

Notes from 3/19:

Infographics and accompanying stories with targeted audiences in mind. DANIEL DANFORD noted that we need to start sooner than later - critical in this down economy with budget-cutting, cancellations, virtual-only conferences, etc. DANIEL DANFORD and R. Andres Ferreyra (Unlicensed) noted we need to continue to propose and write papers for conference submission as usual, even if conferences are not in person. The opportunity to share the great work of AgGateway is too important not to continue.

  • "What AgGateway has accomplished and connected" AgGateway Stakeholders and Deliverables Map v2.pdf
  • "What AgGateway is/does (vs what it is NOT/does NOT do)"
  • Turn these into one-page or two-page doc that show the work AgGateway does, all the areas it touches and the cost-benefit of EACH action - the VALUE proposition in detail and story form:

    • For the Infographic portion, use illustrator to create
    • In the supporting 'story' portion, give detail that tells the cost-benefit
    • Can use for current members and new/recruitment - people are looking at budgets and costs in closer than ever, we need to defend our value!

Susan Ruland (Unlicensed) will review to see if the Lab/Soil flyer can be posted as-is for now, and will do updates after as necessary. R. Andres Ferreyra (Unlicensed) and the soils group are working to get others involved (sign off on IP, etc.), so having this posted will help.

Timescopes still in progress

Infographic one and two page docs - key for keeping AgGateway in member budgets


Refresh ADAPT website? Make it match the public AgGateway site? Review the site on the next call.

6Event Calendar and Speaking Engagements

Communications Sub-Committee Conference/Event DRAFT Calendar 2020


Review calendar, add any new items (virtual or potential future in-person conferences)

Keep separate list so we can track when people are speaking/hosting booth at an event with notes about what they need for that conference/event? Yes, and if someone is speaking about AgGateway in some manner, will make sure that conference/event is on the main calendar. Will take this to the Communications Committee.
