[Taxacom] Sept 15 - date for next open discussion session re Symbiota2

[Mary Barkworth]

Dear Colleagues,
The Symbiota2 project team invites you to attend the next open discussion session concerning the Symbiota2 project. It will be on:
TIME: Wednesday, September 15 at 10.30 am MDT[1]
Location: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82515787249
The session will start with an overview of progress, including identifying a target date for release of version 1 and an explanation of how other developers can add functionality to Symbiota2.
Version 1 is to have the functionality of Symbiota at the time the S2 project started but with a structure that enables any developer familiar with occurrence-based biodiversity informatics to add to its abilities.
Please encourage your favorite developer to attend!
More information on Symbiota is available through the following websites:
