************************************************************** Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) 2008 Conference Friday 24th October 2008 Session 20: Wild Ideas http://www.tdwg.org/conference2008/ **************************************************************
"Wouldn't it be cool if we had a tool to do...." "Why don't we serve data like...." "Check out this non OGC GIS system...." "We need to copy the ideas of community...." "This online data curation site is awesome...." "Check what I can do with my super computer other than play World of Warcraft...." "Cloud computing is allowing me to...." "Google / Facebook / Flickr process data like this .... why don't we?"
We all have them - wild ideas - and now we all want to hear them.
Have you an idea that you could present for 15 minutes at the 2008 TDWG conference in Perth? Perhaps you have something that goes beyond the usual schemas, the usual harvesting model, the usual processing or visualisation? There are no limitations, no boundaries other than it must relate somehow to biodiversity informatics. Who knows, maybe you can generate some interest, start a working group and next year we'll be presenting a new working method.
If you have an idea, please mail Tim and Markus on trobertson@gbif.org and mdoering@gbif.org with a brief outline and we'll get back to you.
And if you have a presentation to give, but can't be there in person, maybe we can hook up a video link, you can ask someone else to present it for you or submit a video presentation?
Cheers
Markus and Tim
