Leipzig follow up
by Melodie McGeoch 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Dear Quentin, Varos, Shyama, Greg, John and Dmitry I hope your travel home was smooth. Thank you very much once again to all of you for the valuable and very enjoyable discussion in Leipzig. Dmitry will be following up on some of the matters arising, but a few items from me: 1. I have drafted an *Interim Report*. Please could you have a look, add/edit by the *30th June*. It is placed in the folder called 'Reports': https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UjnMzPwIS4RgK_X2GnrSYidllaEmNtDvWjonAzU… 2. Some photos from the meeting have been uploaded onto the drive - you are welcome to add any that you have. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_uojZ1Ob6CzZVA4eGdsTlhkNWc 3. I have created a file called *Tasks from Leipzig* in the main folder as a quick reference for convenience - this will also appear in the minutes of the Leipzig meeting. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DaaT70IlW6sh0ARt4oUpHVsrU1zdbF6ic9czRruc5… 4. The file '*Report Topics*' remains under development as we all worked on it from Leipzig, including the lists of recommendations. Please use this document to continue to add content as your tasks/projects develop. Alternatively, if you prefer to create your own doc and to work offline, just add a note to the Report Topics doc in the relevant spot so that we all know which sections you are working on. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jkDmlsCcvJdJOSLl42nV6ncLM38KEapndxy2gPZwI… The structure of the Google Drive should be self explanatory now with folders for the Survey, Reports, Meetings, Photos, Other Resources, Publications and an "Archives' for any older versions of documents. Many thanks All the best Melodie -- Melodie A.

Island Biology 2016
by Dmitry Schigel 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Hello, Here is the event next week with some IUCN and iDigBio sessions listed, which I overlooked http://www.islandbiology2016.uac.pt/#page1x4 If any of you know anyone attending, I'd appreciate contact info for a last moment attempt to GBIFy the talk - I would at least let people know about the IAS fitness for use group and maybe a few general GBIF slides. Please let me know how do you follow relevant events? I know this system http://www.nature.com/natureevents/science/ but maybe there are better alternatives? Try e.g. searching for "data". Thank you in advance.

Hi Dmitry, Here is an updates spreadsheet with 11 "experts" added. You will see this is biased toward marine and Australia, NZ, and North America. I could add a few additional for Europe on the marine side, if you wish. See you tomorrow.

see you soon & new IAS paper
by Dmitry Schigel 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hello group, I believe Melodie and Quentin are in Leipzig already, and the rest of us are coming by the end of the week. I remind you that we meet on 9 July, Saturday at noon at the iDIV building, local arrival tips and agenda is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rCca5wyJYN1fly3xUeSaAGe2q_H-6lWgiN4AdDr…. We will start by a sandwich lunch, and the actual meeting will start at 13:00. Because our effective time was compressed to about two days, from mid-Saturday to Monday afternoon, it would be very nice if you could complete / think about the agreed "homework" tasks before we meet. Here are the outstanding tasks: 1. Doodle for the dates for the second meeting http://doodle.com/poll/6kv5x2ng7sst32nr: Melodie, John. 2. Survey was now drafted in the Survey Monkey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MM6RW6T, feel free to test-answer this and send me you suggestions, preferably before Wed next week. We will of course continue in Leipzig. I also attach a PDF version of the same draft if you are more comfortable with the printout. Note that the survey is much shorter than the ones used by GBIF fitness for use groups before (which maybe a good thing), but also some questions and answers were formulated differently. You might want to compare your latest draft with the earlier surveys archived for you here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzrSPi8wkHZ8Qnk0X3NuSmVhblU.Please refer to a particular question number and add your comments to top part of the same google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AIrL5yFvG-Oj1fyGPS1h9vRbSGCt8FFKD2ZuvIC… In addition here are some good points from Mette Munk, a new secretary at GBIF who helped me with survey: * ....discuss, which questions are the most important for you to get answers to. People tend to lose interest/concentration after a while so it's best to put the less important questions at the end - for instance which institution they're from, what their role is - although it may seem to make more sense to put this at the top - it's questions that the person answering doesn't need to think about, so it might be better to put them at the end. * .... think about what exactly you need the answers for? There are a lot of multiple choice questions and free text questions - this will provide a very vague survey, but if what you need is input and ideas then this would be ok - but if you need answers to specific questions you should make sure they're in the questionnaire and that the answer options are very specific (yes/no, 2 years/10 years etc.). 3. The expert list<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Byyg7vYAqPoWCdkI_wU6PLsycQw6nq4J4ZSx303y6…> for use in survey is nearly complete, only names from Gregory are missing. Feel free to add more than 10 key names! 4. Please don't postpone adding your topics, ideas, section to the report draft<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FOX4m6FAF38jcuXieIVK-nuy86Jfl2hnUo4LmSBCI…>, the texts do not need to be perfect and final, it's a working document. Use and contribute to collection of resource documents<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_uojZ1Ob6Czb3ozOEZocFlkRUk> and references<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_uojZ1Ob6CzZkRFOFlEVURYR3c>. 5. A reminder that In/soon after Leipzig, according to ToRs<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzrSPi8wkHZ8d1lXOHdrc1ZOaGM>, and we are expected to produce a short intermediate report in July 2016. In addition to here-we-are-we-started-to-work, we could include the section structure and some early recommendation that would take shape after Leipzig. This can be very short, 3-4 pages, and it is likely to be included to the document package that is distributed before the GBIF Governing Board meeting, which will take place in October in Brasilia. As Shyama will be attending an IAS meeting in Samoa in August, the key points from the intermediate report could be packed into the presentation. We are working on a GBIF slide doc template that could be a nice way to pack the intermediate report. Here comes a reference from the June catch of literature tracking by GBIF http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12665-016-5826-8 See you soon, Dmitry Schigel Mobile +45 30 45 02 25 E-mail dschigel(a)gbif.org<mailto:dschigel@gbif.org>
