Hit a weird issue with Java output database where everything compiled but produced a crypic runtime error. Possibly related to Java library version mismatch between jars it ships with and the default Java version on Ubuntu/Debian. Re-compiled with Java disabled, and was able to run, but this produced no output (or at least, output I couldn't find).
Found a few minor issues with GCAM data system (which @bpbond already fixed)
Q: To run GCAM, do you just need executable, data system, and configuration XML? Or are there other dependencies in the GCAM repository?
Q: Would it be useful to create a GCAM Docker container? Should only be <=1 hour of work.
Goals for this week

I was invited to participate on two SBG ("Surface biology and geology"; NASA hyperspectral satellite currently in development) working groups: Modeling group (led by Ben Poulter and TBA) and Algorithms group (led by Phil Townsend and Kerry Cawse-Nicholson). Algorithms group has biweekly telecons, with first one scheduled for Jan 7. Modeling group schedule is TBA, but probably similar, with first telecon planned for sometime next week. How much (if any) of my time should I devote to this? How should I bill it? See forwarded email for more details.
I was invited by Forrest Hoffman to present at US-IALE (International Association of Landscape Ecologists-US regional chapter) meeting on April 7-11 in Fort Collins, CO. I have to RSVP by next Friday (Jan 11). See forwarded email for details. I was thinking I would just give a version of my AGU talk, so that shouldn't require a ton of prep work, but the meeting is a few days of my time. Should I attend some or all of it? If so, how should I bill it, arrange travel, etc.?
