[Gbif-europe] ALA Workshop in Autumn 2016

[Cristina Villaverde]

Dear All:

This is to inform you that finally the International ALA workshop will take place in Madrid the 10-12 October 2016. There will be participants from the following GBIF Nodes: Sweden, Germany and Portugal. Canada and Mexico might participate as well in the workshop but it is not confirmed yet. We will have the following instructors: Marie-Elise LeCoq and Fabien Caviere (GBIF France), Santiago Martínez de la Riva (GBIF Spain) and David Martin (ALA). Please, answer this email and provide names and email addresses for the participants of each country. As soon as we have a draft for the agenda we will share it with you.

There will be as well an "advance course" the 13-14 October 2016 but ONLY for those who already have a portal based on ALA running.

The workshop will be held in Madrid (Spain) and the venue will be the Royal Botanical Garden (CSIC) where the Spanish GBIF Node is located. All participants should cover their own expenses of travel, accommodation and food. However, we would be pleased to help booking accommodation and other logistics. We will share more practical information in the following days.

Best regards,
Cristina

Asunto: [Gbif-europe] ALA Workshop in Autumn 2016

Dear EU Nodes,

One of the actions agreed during the last European GBIF Nodes Meeting in Lisbon was to arrange more coordination meetings around ALA. So I would like to announce that GBIF Spain in collaboration with GBIF France are organizing a workshop for software developers working in European GBIF Nodes who would be interested in developing a national data portal based on ALA that will take place in Madrid in September/October 2016.

We propose to organize a 5 days workshop: 3 days for "basic course" (ALA installation, and collectory, biocache and generic modules) with Santiago (GBIF Spain) and Marie Elise (GBIF France) as instructors; and 2 days for "advance course" with the ones with previous experience on ALA developments where Santiago could show the Species module and Marie Elise the Geospatial module. So participants could choose to stay the whole week or just attending the basic or advance course.

First of all, to find a date that suits the most of the countries interested in attending the workshop, I have created a doodle poll: http://doodle.com/poll/x2xvxannwb6dn7w6 . Please share your preferences there before June the 16th.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With best regards,

Cristina
