Hello everyone,
This month, the wiki part I want to highlight is: [ https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/documentation/wiki/Styling-the-we… | "Styling the web app" ] .
Having an ALA portal is good (very good indeed), but having you very own customized ALA portal is better. In order to achieve this, the wiki section of the month can help.
This page is divided is several parts, here are some of them:
* Overview : basic steps for styling you generic-hub application; most of them are explained/detailed on the following parts.
* Grails tag : this part lists tags specific to Grails with explanations on how to use it.
* Bootstrap 3 : tips : instructions and recommandations if you want to add the module Bootstrap 3 in your application
* Custom internationalisation (i18n) : information on the internationalisation aspect; it's a link to another page of the wiki (Internationalization (i18n))
* Examples : some examples of web apps already customized; you can use them as an inspiration for your own installation.
If you think that some information are missing or want to add something relevant to this page, you are welcome to contribute to the ALA wiki ; just follow these instructions: [ https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/documentation/wiki/Good-practices | Good practices ]
If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email (through the mailing list or directly at [ https://partage.mnhn.fr/dev@gbif.fr | dev(a)gbif.fr ] ).
Have a good days.
Cheers
Fabien
Dear Colleague,
I am organizing a symposium titled “Linking biodiversity data through
phylogenetic knowledge” at the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG)
conference, August 25 - September 2, 2018, Dunedin, New Zealand. This
meeting will be held jointly for the first time with the annual meeting of
the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC). A
description of the symposium is available here
<https://tdwg.github.io/conferences/2018/sessions/S14>. I would like to
invite you to submit an abstract. I would also appreciate it if you could
forward this email to your colleagues or students. Thanks!
We will be able to provide a limited amount of *funding* to offset expenses
where needed and on a competitive basis. Please fill in a *Google form* at
this link to apply for funding: https://goo.gl/forms/SKlAXQxVnR6cBK5E3
The purpose of this form is to register your intent to submit a talk to
this symposium (regardless of your need of funding), to collect demographic
information on potential speakers to ensure a diverse symposium, and to
solicit applications for funding to present at the symposium.
The symposium aims to illuminate opportunities offered by integrating
phylogenetic knowledge with biodiversity data, examine the methodological
and computational challenges of doing so, and highlight approaches
addressing these challenges. We especially encourage submissions that span
the domains of evolutionary biology, bioinformatics (i.e. phyloinformatics)
and biodiversity informatics to address the themes of this symposium.
Please note that straightforward systematics research without a data
integration component will not be the focus of this symposium.
Symposium keynote speaker: Dr. Susan Perkins (American Museum of Natural
History).
You *must* also submit an abstract through the conference website.
Instructions are available here: https://tdwg.github.io/c
onferences/2018/instructions-for-authors.
*Deadline*: Mar 12, 2018. Please contact Dr. Guanyang Zhang <
gyz151(a)gmail.com> with any question.
Thank you,
