General Phases of Software Discovery
Data Collection, Curation, UI/UX
Path Forward
Operations team will handle the data curation (and repository)
Support team will utilize their data for the “missing” resources until data is made available
RPs may also have an option for how the data can be collected (pulled vs. pushed with installed tool)
Support team will re-design their existing system to pull from Operations APIs
Support team will combine and display the data to the community through their UI
Vetting will be done in conjunction with RPs
Resource “Selector”
In-depth discussions haven’t taken place in meetings, yet (due to topics above) but some next steps were presented through ad hoc meetings
Support is preparing to release a robust AI chatbot that can assist with a multitude of queries (including which resource may be best for a particular user)
Operations is willing to “retire” their AI chatbot if a better solution is available we can point to.
The screenshots from the above Resource Catalog can display helpful information to audiences about which resources are being used for what purpose/scientific domains
September Quarterly Meeting (Deems/Lavanya)
Need more topics and more representation from teams.
Where are the gaps?
Once the topics deadline has passed (this Friday, August 16) the planning committee plans to send out a survey to staff to build further consensus on topics and provide staff an opportunity to share additional input.
Misc.
Working toward getting a shuttle to/from the hotel
Will disseminate a list for others to enter their arrival/departure times to coordinate Uber/Lyft rides to/from the PIT airport.
