[Board] Fw: [agu-informatics] Open Science & Data Help Desk at AGU23: Volunteer as an Expert by 11/30!

[Peter Löwe]

Rajat, board,

here's a reach out opportunity for OSGeo @ AGU: There will be another data (and software!) help desk arranged by ESIPFED.

Since 2021, OSGeo has been actively supporting the data help desk at the EGU General Assembly, also hosted by ESIPFED.

Documentation is still limited and needs to be improved: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/EGU_DataHelpDesk_2022

In parallel, the planning for the data help desk for EGU 2024 is also spinning up, for which I'm volunteering to act again as liaison, as I wear both OSGeo and EGU hats by now.

Working the help desk booth is both fun (great team) and a good opportunity to reach out to scientists from all fields and make them aware of what OSGeo can do for them, especially for early career scientists. 

Best,
Peter

Betreff: [agu-informatics] Open Science & Data Help Desk at AGU23: Volunteer as an Expert by 11/30!

The Open Science & Data Help Desk[https://www.esipfed.org/data-help-desk-at-agu-2023] will be back at the 2023 AGU Fall Meeting[https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting] (December 11-14) and YOU can volunteer[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGeUAnZ1pI1mnZh6CKIxKg4GY7dNTal51vMXZHmf3gtkDi2A/viewform?usp=sf_link] as a data or software expert!
 
This program of the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)[https://www.esipfed.org/] and the American Geophysical Union (AGU), along with their partners, provides researchers with opportunities to engage with informatics experts in their domains. Through the last 20+ Help Desks, researchers have learned skills and techniques to further their research and make their data and software more open and FAIR. The Open Science & Data Help Desk coming up at AGU23 will again be staffed with experts from the Earth science informatics community to answer data-related questions and to demo useful resources and we encourage you to join us[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGeUAnZ1pI1mnZh6CKIxKg4GY7dNTal51vMXZHmf3gtkDi2A/viewform]!
 
What’s new this year? The Open Science & Data Help Desk is a central feature of a broader space within the Exhibit Hall that has been deemed the Open Science Pavilion at AGU23[https://data.agu.org/OSDHD/]. You can showcase your expertise and resources at the Data Help Desk for time slots of 1-2 hours at AGU23 at no cost to you. If your organization is looking for more exposure including a larger footprint and timeslot (½ day up to full week), please consider the additional paid opportunities that AGU has made available detailed here[https://data.agu.org/OSDHD/]. Note that costs for these spaces help to defray in part the cost of the Data Help Desk.
 
As for the Data Help Desk, here are the ways you can participate:
 

*In-Person*: Join us at the booth to answer data & software-related questions;
*In-Person*: Join us at the booth to showcase a demo/tutorial of a tool or resource;
Answer earth science data & software questions virtually (monitor X (Twitter) and/or Slack and answer where you can);
Contribute a brief recorded demo or one-pager about a tool or resource to our virtual resource gallery.
 
To volunteer, please complete this brief form[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGeUAnZ1pI1mnZh6CKIxKg4GY7dNTal51vMXZHmf3gtkDi2A/viewform?usp=sf_link], as soon as possible by Nov. 30, 2023. Learn more about specific options for participating here[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1piRyCePvhrgPVWf30FVb5oIxHZKZ1DNVR_GENfCgSFU/edit?usp=sharing]. Note: you do not have to be registered for the AGU Fall Meeting to participate virtually. You do have to be registered to participate in-person.
 
Over 20 virtual and in-person Data Help Desks have been held at professional meetings over the last several years, including at the AGU Fall Meeting, the GSA Annual Meeting, the ESA Annual Meeting, the European Geosciences Union General Assembly, the Ocean Sciences Meeting, and more. Don't miss this chance to help others with data and software-related questions and to demo your tool or platform!
