[LTER-im] April IMC Water Cooler is Coming!

[Jason Downing]

And it may be sooner than you were thinking; next Monday April 13th!

Please take the time to review and think about the Science Council request
from my original message that will be part of the IMC annual report due
next soon.  This is an important new piece of the annual report and one
that we should take full advantage of and IMEXEC would love your input.

On Monday, we will specifically hear from Sarah Elmendorf, Corinna Gries,
Tim Whitaker and Suzanne Remillard about their web infrastructure but I am
sure that many more will chime in with helpful bits of information.  Please
be willing to share anything that could benefit another IM.


Here is the regular connection information---
