Join us to discuss the future of ESIP's testbed. This session kicks off a potential evolution in the testbed governance as we grow beyond Products & Services with the new Semantic Tech committee offerings. We will be discussing the spin-up of a Testbed governance cluster to manage proposal review panels and provide a model for cross-cluster/committee collaborations, starting with a structure to support the progression of projects through the testbed from the P&S incubator through SemTech (or P&S) prototype projects. What model should ESIP use to define readiness levels in these cases? How should that be assessed (related: ESIP's Software Assessment activities)? We would also like to consider ways that the testbed can evolve to support different kinds of projects or opportunities for ESIP members.
