Mike feels like it would be helpful to choose six conferences here in this meeting now. This is the best way to get immediate results.
Kristi remembers a page/feature on the wiki in which anyone going to a conference would post it on the wiki – anyone could edit and it would be easy to bring it back. This made it easy for Kristi to keep a long list of presentations about VIVO so that we could report it to the NIH and we could use it for the sponsors. There is a wiki page with all of the VIVO presentations at other conferences but we don't know how complete it is. The new website will promote upcoming events. We need the community to tell us when things are happening.
Also there's a major section in the wiki called "Community." It needs updating. In this area, the conferences page, events, calendar, survey, etc is all there. Information on how to change the wiki, marketing materials, PowerPoint, white paper, poster, references to books. Mike's been working on it and wanted to discuss it here first. We want to make it available for others but Mike would like to add to it first and get it a little more complete.
Kristi thinks that promoting this information would be really helpful to the community. Conference attendees need to know the other VIVO community members that are also present. She has seen a little more engagement in other projects.
Mike suggests that after the VIVO conference, we should start working on conferences and networking at these. We want people to share information that something important about VIVO is happening. This creates opportunities to collaborate about VIVO.
