Annual discussion on how DCAT works together - what do we want to continue doing, what seems to work well/not so well

• How can we foster more interaction / collaboration with cmtrs? Overlap mtgs? DCAT members regularly attend weekly cmtr mtg?
• How should we chose our projects/work? Reviewing JIRA items? Pick a few big projects (i.e.metadata improvements)?
• Logistics - frequency of mtgs, how we spend mtg time, what we agree to do outside of mtgs
• Should we set up some specific goals for the year?
