• Prototype platform status
  • Next round of sensors have been ordered, should start arriving the next few weeks
• Prototype sensor status – health and monitoring
  • Working well, though we have been tweaking our networking, and it seems to be working better.
• UL Student Participation Plan Discussion
  • Updates on time frame for student hardware and assembly
  • Plan for final design of hardware for June 12, 2017
  • Gretchen L Vanicor (LA.edu) will reach out to Elgazzar, Dr. Khalid (LEARN) to see how many students he may be able to devote to this.
    • May need to bring in other Prof. as needed
      • E.g. Geosciences, Engineering
• LCG, LUS Fiber and Network/Hardware Planning update 
  • Private LUS sensor network will be terminated in Stephens Hall at UL
  • Plan to use GENIE hardware provided by UL for Gateway
    • Delcambre, Matthew (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) cleared this usage with US Ignite
    • Delcambre, Matthew (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) will check if we can place our own gateway in Stephens
    • LUS wants to charge UL for the network drop; they do not want to use the existing instance
      • LUS appears to not want to run a VLAN over the existing network drop; their preference is to run a new commercial drop
      • Blundell, Ben (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) and Delcambre, Matthew (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) are working on resolving this with LUS.
• Future Sensor Deployments
  • Status updates on UL Research Input to help guide deployment intersection locations – Dr. Whitney Broussard, Dr. Yanica Visser ( committed to advise graduate students to help with selecting locations)
    • Gretchen L Vanicor (LA.edu) will set up a meeting for sometime in the next few weeks
  • Status updates on Coordination of sensor deployments with LDEQ/USGS
    • Miles, Brian (CGI Federal) / LaBar, William (CGI Federal) will follow-up.
  • Status updates on Time frames / Quantities for upcoming future deployments
    • TDB

• Status Update Mobile Sensors
  • Plan for sensor to be connected to be api, mounted to vehicle, gateway via cell phone
  • API has been recently updated to to support mobile sensors.
    • Miles, Brian (CGI Federal) will work with Alghamdi, Taghreed (LEARN) to test
• Update status on Water Quality sensors brainstorming
  • Delcambre, Matthew (University of Louisiana at Lafayette), LaBar, William (CGI Federal), Miles, Brian (CGI Federal) met with UL Professor Beth Stauffer this week to discuss use cases, which include water quality, flood early warning
  • Need to follow up with Ed Theriot at UL for possible coordination with UL Geosciences/Env. Science program; May need coordinate US ACE on modeling (e.g. HEC-RAS)
    • Keep Gretchen L Vanicor (LA.edu) in the loop as she can bring in appropriate UL faculty
• Health Cases Update (Ridgeway, Terysa (CGI))
  
  • Carlee Alm-LaBar (Lafayette LA) working on data request, should be able to get some of it
    
    • Won't have the health data, but will send us to those who may have it
  • Warren G. Abadie (Lafayette LA)
    
    • DOTD has traffic count data
    • Will put us in contact with DOTD to get a data dump

Miles, Brian (CGI Federal)

• Public dashboard will be posted in the next few days
• API Changes should be stabilizing after this week or so. So we will have data going forward.
• Open Data Platform
  • Status update on current Open Data Platform
    • Migration from CGI to LCG
      • Carlee Alm-LaBar (Lafayette LA) recv'd an email this week, the IT department will continue open data portal
        
        • Not sure if this includes migration of ODP from CajunCodeFest
          • Carlee Alm-LaBar (Lafayette LA) will check on this.

LaBar, William (CGI Federal)

• Nepris presentation 5/16/2017 at David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy
• Michelin Movin'On Conference in Montréal (June 13-15)
• US Ignite Smart City Conference in Austin (June 25th-28th)
  • Delcambre, Matthew (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) will take the lead on coordinating on-stage demo scheduling
  • Carlee Alm-LaBar (Lafayette LA) will inform about Mayor-President's schedule and whether he can attend our demo(s)

• Upcoming EPA Brown bag, monthly air sensor session / 20-30 participants across ORD, OAR, OECA, and Regions
  • Miles, Brian (CGI Federal) will check with LaBar, William (CGI Federal) about the status
