DataONE API Drupal Module

Hi folks,

There are a few members of the the group who have expressed interest in collaborating on a Drupal module that implements the DataONE Member Node API for our Drupal sites. I wanted to make you aware of a discussion to collaborate on this module, and if you are interested, please feel free to provide your availability at this Doodle poll: http://doodle.com/qgzbnd7s2ttt8dcm

If you are not familiar with DataONE (https://www.dataone.org/), they are a foundation, funded by U.S. National Science Foundation, seeking to "ensure the preservation, access, use and reuse of multi-scale, multi-discipline, and multi-national science data". Their goal is to achieve this through "sustainable cyberinfrastructure that meets the needs of science and society for open, persistent, robust, and secure access to well-described and easily discovered Earth observational data."

My organization, Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO), is becoming a member node of DataONE, and I need for our data management Drupal site to implement the DataONE APIs (http://releases.dataone.org/online/api-documentation-v1.2.0/). After speaking with a few other folks from the Geosciences community with the same need, Drupal + DataONE, it made sense to open this up to a larger Drupal community of users working in the sciences.

Feel free to pass the Doodle poll on to other you may know, and we will post here the final date, details of the telecon, and meeting highlights after its completion.
