Hello everyone,
Yesterday, a 2-hour webinar about the installation of the IPT that was held, organized by a consortium of North American and Canadian institutions (i.e., iDigBio, Canadensys, VertNet and others) and the GBIF Secretariat. Laura Russell (VertNet) and Kyle Braak (GBIF Secretariat) acted as trainers, while Deborah Paul (iDigBio) and I acted as facilitators. The session was held in the iDigBio Adobe Connect platform.
As part of this exercise, a number of new resources are available:
1. A 2-hour recording of the complete webinar http://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/p4dfquy4bsf/ ;
2. A 7-minute video describing the IPT installation http://vimeo.com/116142276 ;
3. 3 new presentations about the IPT [1] requirements http://www.gbif.org/resources/78258 , [2] customization options http://www.gbif.org/resources/78260 , [3] known issues http://www.gbif.org/resources/78261 that may occur during the installation and help resources;
All this documentation is available in the resources section of GBIF.org http://www.gbif.org/resources/archive , in the IPT interest group as a summary page http://community.gbif.org/pg/pages/view/45708/resources-from-the-january-20 15-ipt-webinar and in the webinar wiki page https://www.idigbio.org/wiki/index.php/Data_Sharing_Data_Standards_and_Demy stifying_the_IPT#Pre-Workshop_WEBINAR_on_IPT_Install_.2F_Set_up .
Please use these resources as much as you like. If you have developed other training or promotional resources related to the IPT, I would love to know about it :)
With regards
Alberto
