@Cindy Wong -
Today’s EAB meeting - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ahpFRCdy2mUmxu1pDXLcWQjDrYqrOXBl?usp=drive_link that include notes and Joe’s presentation for anyone interested.
1-1 with ACO availability request sent out: https://www.when2meet.com/?36885568-n6cjh. Please fill by THIS Friday, Jun 12, 2026
Lesson Learned - it is in the EAB charter if an attendee does not participate X number of times they are asked to leave
We need to formally ask the EAB if they would serve another year for PY6
This would create 2 open seats - need to discuss if we fill them or if that is OK thru the end of the project
We also need to do the same thing with the RAC
@Dina Meek
ACCESS impact page is live - will be updated quarterly
John - All things old are new again page - XSEDE had a similar page - he suggests looking at the wayback machine for that page to see if anything should be included as well
This year’s Highlights Book is with the EC and getting ready to go to the printer
Do we need to include a spreadsheet of all our web stories (over 200) and links in IDEALS if they will all be available on our site in the Wayback Machine?
We don’t keep this kind of record currently
Use an LLM to pull them off the website - Shannon will work on this
@Kimberly Bruch
Working with interns this summer - have 8 working on ACCESS stories - 2 have sent in drafts already
@Misha Shah -
none
@Shannon Bradley
Do we need to move KPI work from Misha to Shannon?
Working on IDEALS - https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/units/536
When I go to upload - I cannot see “Academic Units” to choose our collection: https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/collections/2350
Does someone need to add me to the system?
I did send a message to the IDEALS team
Talk to Leslie or Lisa W
How can I get the list of activities ready for people to collaborate on? - John is starting
Confluence, Google Doc or Google Sheet? what do you prefer?
I plan to start with what we did for the PY5 Planning
is there anything else I should pull from?
I plan to make a slide promoting the Fall All Staff for Joe to share at the What’s Everyone Developing meeting
if anyone has anything they would like to share in the meeting - get it to me and I can get the slides to Joe W
@Lisa Kaczmarczyk
When will the 1-on-1 with the EAB and ACO be?
Aiming for July or August
