Having "Software Abstracts" at the next AGU

[lheagy]

One of the action items from the town hall is to connect with the AGU to be able to have sessions where authors can submit “software” abstracts that are separate from “science” abstracts at the annual meeting (like what is currently done for education abstracts). This way, authors don’t have to choose between being lead author on a more traditional "science" abstract and a "software" abstract.

To do so, we need to

• draft an email to AGU
• have a group of people who are willing to correspond with the AGU

Please indicate in this issue if you are willing to be involved!

I think this is an important outcome of last year's town hall. It was the major reason for me not to submit to the open source session, and I imagine a number of others as well. Lets see what the program committee thinks about the issue.

👍 I have emailed Jay who is the Chief Digital Officer at the AGU and he will connect us with the Fall Meeting Committee
