Our interest groups and task forces VIVO has interest groups – sort of permanent recurring groups that meet to discuss topics of shared interest, and task forces – time limited groups that meet to create a work product. Anyone can create either.
We currently have two interest groups – Development, which meets weekly, and Ontology, which meets every other week. To join an interest group, just show up. The groups are very friendly, there is no other requirement. Showing up is easy, just dial-in or use Zoom (free software you can download to your computer) using the instructions on the meeting page (click on the links for each group to see the meeting pages).
We have a bunch of task forces:
- Product Evolution Experiments in a new front end.
- Conference Planning We're all going to Montenegro!
- VIVO Camp planning Want to be an instructor?
- Theming and UI Improving the VIVO UX
- Telling VIVO Stories An occasional group that helps tell the stories of VIVO implementations
- Membership Want to help VIVO grow its membership? This is the place.
- Internationalization Working to improve the use of languages in VIVO
- Research Intelligence This group is forming an interest group in 2019.
All have Slack channels and wiki sites (linked above). To join VIVO slack, see http://bit.ly/vivo-slack To join in the work of a task force, just show up. And see above, the groups are very friendly and joining a meeting is as easy as dialing in or clicking on a Zoom link.
