I urge everyone interested in Biodiversity Informatics to see <a
href="http://www.tdwg.org/conference2007/programme/schedule/">http://www.tdwg.org/conference2007/programme/schedule/</a>
for the complete schedule of talks. I am particularly impressed by the
strength (depth and breadth) of this year’s schedule. If you have
been contemplating joining or wondering how TDWG can serve taxonomists better,
why not come and see what we are up to and raise your needs if they are not on
the Biodiversity Informatics Standards horizon? While the schedule for
talks is NEARLY full, there is still time to submit abstracts for posters
and/or computer demonstrations.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><st1:City w:st="on"><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span

the Danube from <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Vienna</st1:place></st1:City>
and is a very attractive destination. There is still plenty of reasonable
accommodation available (see <a
href="http://www.tdwg.org/conference2007/housingtravel/">http://www.tdwg.org/conference2007/housingtravel/</a>
for information about the venue, accommodation, etc.), so please consider
joining us for a great meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
