1. Review Milestones / Project Board

- Started by checking what we accomplished
- Moved onto reviewing [open milestones](https://github.com/edgi-govdata-archiving/overview/milestone/1)

* #153
* @patcon - re webmonitoring there's not a huge benefit outside of the analysts themselves. Possible that overhead of maintaining an onboarding doc for analytists. It's possible that this would apply better to Data Together
* @dcwalk - agreed this applies more to archiving & possibly data together
let's get the dev's involved in updating the web monitoring one.
* #196, #194, #199, #120, #119
* GSoC student improved visualization
* #199 still outstanding work
* #120 need to understanding what we got from crawl
* going to start crawl of data.json tonight, @b5 wanted to hold off on work spec being defined in Golang
* work in fine-tuning will take longer than anticipated, but we'll go ahead anyhow
* still opportunity for scripting to understand all the sources of data and the status/location of data in each, outside our own projects (coverage app)
*
* #27
* @dcwalk proposes closing, and re-opening several more, bc poorly formed and not actionable
* was originally about mirroring data.gov
* others were leading, and we were just contributing servers and storage
* was being carried by outsider partners
* we are not block on this issue (Yay!)
* should get clarity on how we should engage with in fall
* Who does this work bear most relevance to? Data Together? EGGI? Perhaps even a TRU thing? (Technoscience Research Unit)

1. Reflection on Progress

- Community Call, Onboarding (still feels like the right focus)
- People outside the current crop
- @dcwalk we should be thinking more on how we're providing support to projects
- how those relationships work
- @dcwalk rethinking how working group works
- rethinking on how tech folks engage with other projects, and how onboarding may focus on tech roles or not

- @dcwalk: checking in on how these projects
- - 100 days
- Archiving (**Doris Duke**)
- Data Together (Archiving folding into this?)
- Web Monitoring
- Website
- *EDGI Infrastructure* and *Community*

- @patcon: path to people into EDGI (e.g., Ky... organizing an event, roll of in-person events?)
- in-person space?
- Data Together working groups as a potential (e.g. Data Rescue Boston)

- @patcon:
- interest: newsletter, onboarding, (community call?)
- avail?: harder to pin down, travel

- @dcwalk:
- interest/committment: newsletter til Dec,
- less avail: Oct hard, mid-Dec off for a month, weekly tasks more difficult

- @james:
- invite join archiving group? (also github)
- google drive? archivers slack
- @dcwalk attend a Data Together standup?
- @dcwalk eventually bring Web Monitoring, Data Together people into the same place (maybe at the Climate Central call)
- two bits for this collaborate: ad hoc rapid response but also proactive planning (e.g., budget process)

- @james:
- some opportunity shared moblilzing/reporting opportunity
- to post notes from climate central meeting!

### Action Items/To Dos

- Set up poll to
- @dcwalk: groom issues
- @dcwalk:
