M/S/P

Current Activity

• Create backlog list - let's start the list we talked about on 9/5
  • Store a backlog of what we want implementation notes on - store under PAC Communications landing page and make public to all members(?). This ties back to the importance of Core Documents. Do we need a working group to manage implementation notes or best practices? Create list, identify the person who will be the SME and have tech writer work with them. Draft list, put it out to group and ask who is interested in working on and start with those that get volunteers. Have a PAIL implementation note list, just need to locate and put in one place.
• Other items:
  
  • Other work on ADAPT flyer (friends, not foes)? Next flyer or ADAPT need?
    
  • Ag Lab / Soil Testing - flyer and PPT done, need to promote or share/post flyer?
  • PAIL - next note?
  • Revisit: idea of a mini-curriculum for various tool understanding and implementation (ala FSA)
  • Update PPT about what AgGateway has done, is doing, what's available, and how to engage

• "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)"

Future - ADAPT items

• "How ADAPT Versioning Works" - explain 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')
• FAQs on when to implement
• 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

Future - Other Items

• PAIL and PICS case studies
• PICS implementation guide
• SPADE 1 - 3 wrap-up

DISCUSSION

The group talked about the challenge of any communications piece, including infographics, with the constant changes of work done by AgGateway and the ever-changing agriculture space worldwide and always shifting technology.

• To make sure any infographic or note or flyer (etc.) is useful, TEST IT!
• Once drafted, 'test' with people that did NOT create to see if they have the same understanding and, if so, can they explain it to others correctly. if not, what do we need to change to make it make sense? what examples do we need to use from daily life?
• Need to be able to explain to others what things are without using project names or acronyms (but link them so when people hear the term, they understand) - focus on irrigation standards, field operations, data transformation and translation, etc.
• Tell a story - easier for people to remember, repeat, relate to, and link to their work

Do short animated video to show the stakeholders and deliverables flows and how AgGateway fits in - group agreed, this is a good approach.

The group has reviewed what tasks were assigned during the meeting.
