[eml-dev] Proposing new project members

[James W Brunt]

As I promised at the LTER 2005 IM meeting, in the interest of increasing 
community involvement in EML, I would like to propose the addition of 2 
new EML project members for their contributions and continued interest 
in the successful deployment of EML into the community. (Additionally, 
I think they should receive the full salary and benefits to which they 
are entitled in this position immediately instead of waiting the usual 
probation period.) They are:

Margaret O'Brien - University of California Santa Barbara - Margaret is 
the information manager for the Santa Barbara Coastal LTER project and 
the acting information manager for the Moorea Coral Reef LTER project. 
Margaret has a good knowledge of eml from the implementors point of view 
- Margaret is actively using EML and Metacat to manage the projects data 
holdings and has worked on the LTER eml best practices project. Margaret 
recently worked with Mark Servilla in developing the schema for the 
proposed changes to eml-literature.

Mark Servilla - University of New Mexico - Mark is the lead scientist on 
the LTER Network Information System project at the LTER Network Office 
at UNM. Mark has a good understanding of eml from the developers point 
of view - he has implemented eml for the LTER remotely-sensed data, 
recently developed an eml unit-dictionary online resource and worked 
with Margaret O'Brien on the proposed changes to the eml-literature schema.

Thanks,

James
