MaterialSample Task Group, We had a pretty productive meeting today. Continuing our work, the next steps are to evaluate preparations <https://github.com/tdwg/material-sample/issues/7> and associated sequences <https://github.com/tdwg/material-sample/issues/9> as properties of MaterialEntity. Please visit the GitHub issues and discuss them there. A reminder that we have given ourselves a deadline of May 1 to develop a package to submit for review <https://github.com/tdwg/material-sample/milestone/1>, this means we have one more meeting (April 19, 2023) to round this up. I hope to see many of you next month but I hope to see all of you participating in the GitHub issues. Thank you for the time you give to this effort! Teresa J.
