Hi TDWG'ers,

Thank you so much to all the TDWG community who added their voices to 
the Darwin Core Hour yesterday, very rich conversations and community / 
cross-discipline expertise and experience sharing :-)

In case you weren't one of the 90-or-so folks who joined us and you want 
to hear Darwin Core Hour #2 presentation and discussion about controlled 
vocabularies, or if you want to share the conversation with your 
colleagues, here are places where you can go to do that.
