<div dir="ltr">Dear Media Group,<div><br></div><div>Hope everyone is well rested from the Interop and/or AAS meeting. (And I wish you good luck if you're also at the SPIE meeting this week!)</div><div><br></div><div>I talked with Debbie about updating our task list, getting the team's feedback, and asking for assignees. </div><div>So, I've updated the Media Group Trello team with the new tasks we received during the May 2018 Interop. </div><div><br></div><div>Trello link: <a href="https://trello.com/b/4ZCVDYqu/actions">https://trello.com/b/4ZCVDYqu/actions</a></div><div>Main page: <a href="https://trello.com/ivoamediagroup">https://trello.com/ivoamediagroup</a></div><div><br></div><div>I made a new board called "Actions" with combines all the tasks from the other boards. I didn't plan on us mainting the "Website", "Outreach", "Social Media," or "Newsletter" boards anymore. Instead, I propose we use labels to denote which group the task belongs to, so users can still filter by group if they wish. (Of course, we can change that if the consensus is to keep the tasks separated on their own boards). There are labels for "Website, <br clear="all"><div><br></div><div>I do plan to maintain the "Questions / Requests" board for IVOA members outside the Media Group to post to.</div><div><br></div><div>I have some requests for the Media Group members:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Could you please review the Actions board and see if I've missed any tasks? Please add a card for any missed actions. Feel free to post the tasks here as well.</div><div>2. I've started adding people to tasks they've agreed to work on, but you'll see there are a number of open tasks. If you see a task that looks related to your skill set, add yourself to the task (click the card, click "Members", and select your name from the list). </div><div> Some tasks may require more than one person, some just one person. Either way, if you're interested in working the task, add yourself as a Member. We can figure out who's doing what later (one person does the task, others review it, for example?)</div><div>3. Could someone who doesn't have a Media Group Trello account yet try to post to the Questions / Requests board? I'd like to know what happens if someone outside the team tries to post to it.</div><div><br></div><div>There was a lot of work done at Interop, mostly in preperation for IAU. Here are the main tasks we've worked on during and after the Interop:</div><div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">- We're working the handouts (<a href="https://trello.com/c/sviNwuZA">https://trello.com/c/sviNwuZA</a>). I'd started by Mark a template last week, he then filled it out with the general IVOA handout this past weekend, and sent it around to a couple people. I had sent around an earlier template version the last day at Interop for some feedback, but hadn't heard back from anyone, so I went ahead and gave an updated template to Mark since he wanted one quickly. <span style="font-size:12.8px">You can find this template on the Media Group Twiki attachments (</span><a href="http://wiki.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/MediaGroup/a4_handout_drafts.docx" style="color:rgb(69,113,208);font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12.831px">a4_handout_drafts.docx</a><span style="font-size:12.8px">).</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"> - This goes along with the Corporate Design document started by Kai, Shanshan, and myself. It's still being worked, but the colors, fonts, and logo rules are laid out (Trello link <a href="https://trello.com/c/yc1wKL9P">https://trello.com/c/yc1wKL9P</a>).</span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Shanshan is also working the website header by merging some multi-wavelength images together and overlaying a grid-like pattern on top (<a href="https://trello.com/c/ZD1ddH9m">https://trello.com/c/ZD1ddH9m</a>). We'll need permissions from the organizations who published the images (<a href="https://trello.com/c/yPG0xgVQ">https://trello.com/c/yPG0xgVQ</a>)</span><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">- Theresa started compiling a list of VO tutorials for the website (<a href="https://trello.com/c/nQNmdYfn">https://trello.com/c/nQNmdYfn</a>), specifically the Jupyter notebooks for accessing the NASA archives.</span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">- I had just asked Giulia if she could work on the Semanatics group's new IVOA vocabularies pages (<a href="https://trello.com/c/2tgcMWOO">https://trello.com/c/2tgcMWOO</a>) since she maintains the Documents list. We need to coordinate the changes with ICUAA (India) since they're the ones who maintain the website. However, we don't know if they have Exec approval to add these pages to <a href="http://ivoa.net">ivoa.net</a>. This needs to be asked.</span><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> - Mirielle wanted the information up by the end of June, which is coming up quickly; a couple of us can work on this task if more hands are needed.</div></div><div><br></div><div>We got some good work done during and after the Interop -- great job! Let's keep it up!</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks for your reviews. Comments Questions?
