CODE team

• Brock is working on a mapping solution proof-of-concept with Leaflet

• Had a short discussion with the students about their work and any feedback on the process.
  • Kali asked what kinds of issues they found with the process.
  • Eliza responded that she needed context for some of the translations and looked through other websites to see how they were translating common website terms.

Country/subnational interest in cloning the NRP

• Poland - they have forked and adapted the US version. They like the transparent and clear structure of the project. It was very important for Poland to work on an open-source model. They are planning on launching in the beginning of January.
  • A more technical follow up will be done with Poland in the future to review the technical development of the platform.
  • They wIll have multilingual capacity on the site and will have English and Polish.
  • Phil - can we give Michal an update on the US and UK shared library?
    • Brock gave an overview of the shared library approach with merging the platforms.
• Germany
  • Chris has been working with Germany but he hasn’t heard any updates from them. They did reach out about uploading PDFs and Chris is working on it.

2. Upcoming events/conferences
