OntologySummit2014 Organizing Committee: basics, logistics and some ground rules of engagement    (42AA)

• we are here to get things organized; to frame, coordinate and discuss how we can facilitate the discourse, with an aim towards getting the best outcome from the Summit season; optimizing that against the goals and objectives laid out for this year's summit theme - i.e. OntologySummit2014: "Big Data and Semantic Web Meet Applied Ontology"    (42AB)
  • make distinction between your "organizer" role and your "content expert" role, both are important - but at the ontology-summit-org organizing committee, you are wearing the "organizer" hat; please segregate that from your "content expert" hat (which most of us will also also wear, say, when it comes to rolling out the content that you are championing.)    (42AC)
  • no (read: try to absolutely minimize) "content discussions" at the organizing committee meetings, please. We are here to do the meta-discussion on how to frame, coordinate and facilitate the discourse, and discuss "how" to produce an optimal outcome; the content discussions should be done via posting to the [ontology-summit] list (not the [ontology-summit-org] list), dedicated wiki "content pages" and at the Thursday virtual panel sessions.    (42AD)

• we need to be a very agile team ... as such, try to provide a quick turn-around on email exchanges. A 4-hour turn-around window would be a good target. A 1 working day (8-Hr) or 24-elapse time response limit is appreciated from everyone (if you don't have a full response and as a courtesy to your teammate(s), at least provide an acknowledgment and an ETA for the full answer, or a release for the others to go ahead.)    (42AE)
  • past that limit, people might just choose to call or forge ahead if the response is still missing    (42AF)
  • try to provide alternate means of contact (e.g. mobile phone number) to people you are collaborating closely with    (42AG)

• for continuity, please try to be at all sessions (or at least your fellow co-champion is there, if you have a pair/team partner)    (42AH)
  • all organizing committee members are committed to not missing more than 2 organizing committee meetings or community sessions; excessive unexcused absence may be cause for (or indicative of) withdrawal from the committee.    (42AI)

• since things are so interrelated, please always discuss/transact on the mailing list, so that everyone is kept posted, and in sync    (42AJ)
  • use proper subject line, and prefix in square brackets to help discern topics    (42AK)

• to allow us to freely speak our minds (without getting those utterances caught by search engine crawlers and the like) the [ontology-summit-org] message archives and shared-file workspace are password protected. You should have been informed of the role-based access credentials already if you are an organizing committee member. In case you missed them, please contact <peter.yim@cim3.com>. ... by the way, please do not share those credentials with others.    (42AL)

• Being able to have read and write access to the mailing list messages are crucial. In case you have trouble with that, please contact <peter.yim@cim3.com> asap.    (42AM)
  • if you are new on the list, it might help if you check you spam folders first, because the distributed messages may inadvertently be caught by your spam filter.    (42AN)
  • please provide <peter.yim@cim3.com> with aliases (if you might post from that address); multiple subscription addresses too, if necessary.    (42AO)

• note that the meetings will be recorded and contributions are subject to our nominal IPR Policy    (42AP)
