May 16 - 18, 2012
 +
 +
University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute, Lawrence, Kansas
 +
 +
The goals of this workshop (still being refined): 1) Clarification of terms used in the biodiversity, genomics, and ecological communities, and 2) Steps to take in building a Biocollections Ontology.
 +
 +
BS, MAG, and RW are attending.

June 11-16, 2012
 +
 +
Any interest in making a PO presentation at this meeting? Perhaps RW and/or DWS could just go for the day of the presentation, since it is local (New Haven, CT).
 +
 +
The theme for the meeting is "Emerging Technology and Innovation in Natural History Collections Management" (focus on the tools, innovative methods and collaborations that will move the natural history collections community forward).

 +
 +
We are looking at the tentative dates of either: June 11-13th or Aug 6th to 8th
 +
 +
The focus of the workshop will be on mostly development stages and traits for the crop plants
