  1. NSF’s Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) solicitation for FY22 has been released and can be accessed at the following link: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21617/nsf21617.htm.
    • Lets add this to codefest. Dedicated time.
  2. PAG Workshop Organizer Committee
    • Who will be in the committee this year.
    • Historically, we rotate this between 2-3 individuals.
    • Attendance at PAG may be quite low.
      • Likely to go: Dorrie, Sook, Scott Cain, Mathieu Rouard, Jill W, Stephen F
      • Maybes: Sophia, Surya, Sean, Monica
    • Jill will spearhead PAG effort -  is this happening? But she needs more time to decide. She’ll put out another call on where people stand. Even if we have presenters, will we have an audience?
      • Ideas: lightning talks
  3. PMC: Hackathon will be held online this year. We may have to schedule differently so as not to conflict with PAG.
    • Focus on T4! Need community support. Need to be at a point where the community can help. How do we get there?
    • January 13th and 14th
    • Online, the whole time
  4. TAC Chair 
    • Meg's nearing the end of her 3 year tenure as chair
    • Propose elections in January (or appointment in January if there is no need for an election)
    • Nominations? Be thinking about it!
      • Jill could do it (maybe co-chair) - next term focus on grant!

    • funding strategies
    • community growth
