Editor's Notes
GCP
I had a question but did not know who specifically to ask. The people that answered all work in science in the GOC. One is an actual scientist and the others are library and data types. For this to work several conditions need to be met. The people need to be there. My timing was fortunate in this instance. Also there are enough people that follow me and the hashtags I used. There needs to be a relationship. I have met and chatted with 2 of the 3 who responded. Maybe even Chris, he would know me by reputation likely. These people all know that I answer questions and contribute on a regular basis.
