Dear Board, all,

the call for volunteers for the Data (and open source software!) Help Desk (4 -8 May) closes today.

Since the first announcement to the OSGeo communities last week there have only been a limited number of volunteers signed up. The Help Desk event will be fun - don't miss out !

Details:

Volunteer by 4/15 to be a Data Expert for the next Virtual Data Help Desk, to be hosted during the week of EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online (May 4th-May 8th, 2020). Just like the in-person events, this Virtual Data Help Desk, which is a program of EGU, the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP), will connect researchers with informatics experts familiar with their scientific domain to share skills and techniques that will help further research and make data and software open and FAIR.

YOU can volunteer to be a Data Expert who contributes in one or both of the following ways:
1. Answer Data Questions Virtually (monitor question forums, likely Twitter and Slack, and answer where you can for the week of May 4th)
2. Share a short recorded demo of a tool or resource
To volunteer, please complete this brief form, as soon as possible by April 15th.

The Data Help Desk is happening virtually for the first time after several successful in-person events at professional meetings over the last few years at the AGU Fall Meeting, the Ecological Society of America Annual Meeting, the Ocean Sciences Meeting, and more. Don't miss this chance to help others with data-related questions and to demo your tool or platform!

Kind regards,
Peter
