[NeXus-committee] NIAC2020 conclusion

[Watts Benjamin (PSI)]

Hi Everyone!

   The deadline for voting on NIAC2020 proposals has now passed. All proposals were accepted by a wide margin, as summarised in the table shown here:

https://www.nexusformat.org/NIAC2020.html#decisions


Thank you to everyone who participated. However, there are still plenty of things we can do to advance NeXus (as the lists of Github issues will attest) and it is never to early to start discussing ideas for new proposals!


Cheers,

Ben

Subject: [NeXus-tech] NIAC2020 final voting


Hi Everyone!

   The final NIAC session has closed, but the voting will remain open until UTC 12:00 on Nov 3rd. Until then you can cast and adjust your votes (or challenge the proposal to trigger a 1-month period for further comments). Voting can be performed either by applying the appropriate emojis to the associated github issues, or by returning the email voting form below. The list of proposals to vote on (with convenient links) can be found here:

https://www.nexusformat.org/NIAC2020.html#decisions

Freddie is still working on the minutes and we hope to get them online soon.


All NIAC members are requested to vote on all proposals. If you don't wish to vote for or against a proposal, please mark your vote as abstain to record your acknowledgement of the vote taking place.


Cheers,

Ben
