Jim Blake retirement Jim Blake of Cornell University in Ithaca New York retired this past week. Jim started with the VIVO Project in 2010 during the NIH grant era. Jim served as the technical lead for the VIVO project from 2013-2016. Jim was always one of the most knowledgable, thoughtful, and productive contributors in the VIVO community. We wish Jim the very best for his retirement. Bravo Jim!

Architectural presentation In January, VIVO hosted an "architectural fly-in" bringing people together to think through future initiatives and the software architectures that might be required to support them. Huda Khan of Cornell summarized the discussions in a presentation available here . There are several major initiatives going on that require active coordination. Andrew Woods facilitates the Development Interest Group that meets every Tuesday. This group works to make sure things fit together now and in the future. All developers are welcome!
