As part of graduation from incubator status with DuraSpace, the VIVO Project needs to grow our base of committers and contributors, defined as people who submit new code, bug fixes, documentation, sample data, tests, ontology changes, applications such as the Harvester that generate VIVO RDF from other sources, apps and visualizations that use VIVO data, and tools that make any part of creating and sustaining your VIVO easier. We see another hackathon building on Chris and Ted's March, 2014 Hackathon at Duke as a good way to encourage involvement as well as to make progress on a number of fronts, collectively and individually.
