<li><span>Kamel mentioned that NEON is flying drones and people can join in flying drones<br>
</span></li><li><span>Artin Majdi joined us to discuss MLFlow which can be used to develop and run ML  (Machine Learning) algorithms. CyVerse is working on supporting MLFlow in the Discovery Environment. If you are using ML, you may want to check out what MLFlow offers<br>
</span></li><li><span>Andrew French is working with Planet Labs, who are using ML for their work: <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/planet-ditl/day-in-the-life/index.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(51,122,183);font-family:-apple-system,system-ui,"Segoe UI","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol";letter-spacing:0.35px" target="_blank"><span style="box-sizing:border-box">https://storage.googleapis.com/planet-ditl/day-in-the-life/index.html</span></a></span></li><li>Tyson suggested going to <a href="https://faasafety.gov" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://faasafety.gov</a> to link your drone pilot license with the site</li><li>It was suggested that Jeff Gillman provide a Metashape workshop at our next meeting</li><li>Kamel recommended contacting RSSL for drone battery best practices;  they can become dangerous through age, improper storage, and due to other factors</li></ul>
