Guideline for presentation
Now down to the Work part of the Working Group meeting!
Focus on the development of GSICS Products
Mostly items assigned 20 minute slots
But this includes discussion time!
So please keep presentations brief and to the point
Presentations will be uploaded to the GSICS Wiki
Unless you tell me not to
Can include more background information
Please follow file naming convention: 1a_Hewison_Introduction.pptx/pdf/ppt
