iDigBio would like to brainstorm with the TCNs about the IAC meetings, bi-monthly reports, etc. The goal is to make these more effective and beneficial for all. This can also be a forum to brainstorm about other topics related to interaction among iDigBio and the TCNs.

The Specify Project and the biological collections it serves are approaching a fork in the road. After 30 years of underwriting biological collections software as a “public good” we have a strong indication that the US NSF will no longer bear the sole responsibility for funding at the level which has sustained the core software development activities of the Specify Project.  We have been encouraged to develop a collections community-supported business model to sustain collections database innovation, and software maintenance, as well as related help desk, cloud hosting, and analytical data services.  This session will be a drop in session that will include a short status update of Specify, a quick overview of key features, and discussion of our future vision. There will be time for Q & A and help desk problem solving/support and an opportunity to discuss TCN issues with Specify.
Specify software manages species and specimen data for biological research collections with a full suite of software: desktop, web, and iPad applications, as well as cloud-based hosting.  With new versions of Specify 6 and 7 having just been released with additional features to support the GGBN data model as well as data publishing, this session will be a drop in session that will include a short status update of Specify, a quick overview of key features, and discussion of our future vision. There will be time for Q & A and help desk problem solving/support and an opportunity to discuss TCN issues with Specify.
