This year, NIST OWM launched a new series of Information Hours, aka “Info Hours,” as an informal forum for our customers and stakeholders to engage in discussions related to current topics related to weights and measures, legal metrology, and documentary standard-relevant issues. The original set of six (6) Info Hour sessions was launched in June and covered current and pertinent weights and measures areas related to e-commerce, existing scales code, and grain moisture measurements to emergent areas related to electric vehicles fueling systems, instrument and device software, and the upcoming digitalization of our documentary standards.
All Info Hour sessions are recorded, fully transcribed to be 508 compliant, and will be posted to our e-Learning Resources and Training Materials webpage and available “on demand”. Note that each session takes a few weeks to prepare the final recording for public release. We just wrapped up our last session on “Software for Metrological Devices” on September 11 and are celebrating the series' initial success with a total of over 380 attendees!
But we are not going to stop there. Our plan is to come back with a new series for 2025 that will continue to provide an active and engaging forum for our entire weights and measures and legal metrology community to connect and network, discuss issues, learn from one another, and share knowledge, ideas, and recommendations.
We want to hear from you on what topics you want next! Please send your suggestions or recommended topics for future Info Hour topics to David Sefcik at david.sefcik [at] nist.gov (david[dot]sefcik[at]nist[dot]gov).
