Hola Esteban:
Quería ponerte al corriente de una iniciativa que está empezando a arrancar, impulsada por GBIF y por los nodos que utilizan el modelo Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) como portal de datos nacional. GBIF en su presupuesto de 2019 va a dedicar 40.000 € para apoyar esta comunidad, que se ha denominado Living Atlases, que ya cuenta con más de 13 países, España es uno de ellos. Durante el GB25, los miembros de la comunidad decidieron destinar los 40.000 € a contratar un coordinador, que lleve a cabo las siguientes tareas: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14tyjEPaDpIo9B_8wvHDKbfMRLO81FviTsVQt9IT1...
La idea es contar con un coordinador en 2019 y esperar que sea alguien dentro de la comunidad. Además, la mayoría de los países presentes acordaron proporcionar fondos adicionales para apoyar sus funciones (5.000 euros por país).
Te quería preguntar si estás de acuerdo en que nosotros también contribuyamos con 5.000 €, que serán utilizados para organizar talleres, establecer las estructuras de gestión del proyecto y cubrir otros gastos del coordinador.
Si quieres bajo un día y te cuento todo con más detalles.
Muchas gracias.
Un saludo, Cristina

Dear all,
At the GBIF Governing Board meeting in Kilkenny (October 2018) the work program and budget was approved. In the 2019 Budget GBIF will contribute 40k euros to help support the Living Atlases community.
Following on from this agreement, there was some discussion in Kilkenny about how best to allocate these funds. An opportunistic meeting was held with some members of the Living Atlases community who where present in Kilkenny. This included representatives from Spain, France, Portugal, Australia, Sweden, Brazil. That group came to the conclusion that the funds would be best put to use by supporting a “Living Atlas Coordinator” position.
Following on from the meeting, we created the following document (called “The Kilkenny Accord”) that attempts to outline scope and some details of this position:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14tyjEPaDpIo9B_8wvHDKbfMRLO81FviTsVQt9IT1...
The proposal is to recruit a coordinator and expect this needs to be someone within the community. In addition, the majority of the countries present agreed to provide additional funds to support the role (5k euros per country).
We are aware that quite a few members of the Living Atlas community were not present at this meeting. At this stage, we’d like to ask the wider community if they agree with the proposal outlined.
Additionally, we would like to ask if there are more participants willing to make a financial pledge that would be used towards the coordinator, setting up the project management structures and/or workshops. The Living Atlas community aims to be inclusive, so any group may contribute regardless of their participation status in GBIF - e.g. an institution or a national center may contribute. An early indication of finances available in 2019 will be helpful to help plan activities.
Please feel free to respond to this mailing list, or to email directly.
Kind regards
