[GO-ESSP] GO-ESSP Seattle '08 post-workshop materials

[Steve Hankin]

Hello Go_ESSP participants,

As with past meetings of GO-ESSP, September's GO-ESSP workshop in 
Seattle was enjoyable and fascinating.  As the host of this years' 
meeting I'd like to express my thanks to all who attended and helped out 
for making it a great success.

The on-line agenda from the meeting has been updated with links to the 
session abstracts and presentation materials.  Thanks to Jason Alvich 
and Chris Kerr at GFDL for pulling this together.  See 
http://go-essp.gfdl.noaa.gov/2008/agenda.html

Below are the volunteer action items that we drafted in the final hour 
of the meeting.  While many of the items represent unfunded (or 
inadequately funded) work, all are important goals for our community.  I 
hope we will all refer back to these as touch stones from time to time 
to remind us of priorities and help us to measure our progress.

    thanks - Steve Hankin (on behalf of the GO-ESSP Organizing Committee)
