Some notes from our first meeting - please feel free to add or edit as necessary.

Topic of discussion: What is the scope for the upcoming evaluation hackathon (to be held as a training activity during the September ACCESS workshop)

- There seems to be three broad categories for evaluation:
  1. Live/‘on the fly’ diagnostics, more relevant to core development team
  2. ESMValTool for more generalised metrics, more of a community effort
  3. ILAMB - more used by the land surface modellers

Hackathon focus on ESMValTool might be more beneficial for the wider community.

- What kind of recipes to focus on?

**Meeting notes 21/6/24**

Romain: Update - progress is being made on setting up recipes as per last meetings suggestions, chasing down ERA5 issues on NCI.

Hackathon: Proposed 2 sessions during the training day. Morning - getting the general recipes to run, afternoon - customising the recipes.

During the workshop it would be good to have a breakout session with general discussion to follow up on ideas from the hackathon. Followed by an online wrap-up the next week to consolidate thoughts and come up with a workflow/plan.

Harun’s suggestion: there is currently a gap between model evaluators and developers. Would be good to begin to reach out to model users to get their feedback - will follow up on this.

Next meeting 12 July.
