  • Need to get together with P02 to discuss the meta-data tags
  • Chris: Rebecka and Gustav are working on the folder structure

• The P07 - CPE project updated by Dirk through email:
  • Scriptathon at PhUSE in October: SAS has been contacted re programming platform. I need to talk to Mike re R environment. Participants are supposed to work on qualification process during the event. This needs to be prepared – I sent email to Dante & Peter. We need to start preparation.
  • Is there anything from the working groups worth communicating to the PhUSE community? Are there any conference participation that I am not aware of?
  • Standard script contribution: for instance boxplot script, it used a way no one would use. Use gplot or some standard procedure. Use LinkedIn to get people to contribute.
