<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the early responses.  At the moment we have expressions of interest from:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>GBIF: Tim and Burke</div>
<div>Costa Rica: ?</div>
<div>Sao Paulo: 2-3 people</div>
<div>France: tentative 1 person?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In discussion with GBIF (Tim R) we believe that this would be enough to make some good progress.  </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can I please ask that we have a confirmation by the 17th June of a commitment to attend?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With this, we will begin arranging the workshop and logistics, and people can book flights etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(GBIF (TR and BK) have confirmed attendance should this proceed)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

<div style="direction:ltr"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt">Hello all,</span></div>
<div>
<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;color:#000000;font-size:10pt">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There have been a couple of approaches to the team at ALA asking for the possibility of a visit to help advance understanding of the system.  Additionally we hear early indications of interest from the recent group who had a small workshop in Europe, but
 note their requests for improved documentation, processes and structure.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is short notice but we would like to propose a workshop in Canbera for developers on the week of :  <span style="font-size:10pt">21-July - 25th July 2014</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During this week we would aim to:</div>
<div>a) exchange knowledge amongst developers</div>
<div>b) collate wiki documentation on data management, and customization of the web portal</div>
<div>c) discuss and make progress in the processes surrounding source code management - e.g. potentially moving to Github and defining procedures for contribution, and releases</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please note that at this stage and for the foreseeable future, we believe the components suitable for collaboration and adoption are:</div>
<div>i. The biocache-hub webapp</div>
<div>ii. The collectory webapp</div>
<div>iii. The biocache backend processes</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I understand that the GBIF secretariat will commit to managing the key pieces of documentation and assist in helping structure the project.  The ALA development team are committed to maintaining this codebase and using it to support applications in Australia.
 We don&#39;t envisage this being an off the shelf product such as the GBIF IPT, but rather a well managed open source project that people can contribute to and use as a framework to rapidly kick start their own developments.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have interest in joining, could you please reply to this expressing interest, even if only tentative? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks,</div>
