A brainstorm for the January 2027 ESIP Winter Meeting. Participants introduced themselves with something exciting and something frustrating in IT interoperability. The discussion settled on an exercise: participants each take an achievable but non-trivial cross-agency data question, spend about an hour on it with current data systems and AI tools, and report what was and was not possible in lightning talks, with plans and results kept on GitHub.

A demo of the IT&I wiki's migration to this GitHub Pages site, followed by discussion of how the community should use the repository and what topics the committee should take up next. Four ideas were recorded for follow-up as GitHub issues.

The first meeting with returning chair David Blodgett, organized around three questions: how people prefer to learn what's new in Earth science IT, what would motivate them to contribute, and what gap the committee could fill. Answers favored short talks with linked background material, demonstrations and collaborative testing, and a GitHub site whose issues feed a Slack channel.
