  2. iDigBio next two years • Workshops • Continue at full speed with workshops; not de-emphasize for the last 2 years • Workshop success is due to being “invited+paid for” • Transition to a model where it is partially subsidized by others? • A better model is to create something new (e.g., conference) that is not paid by iDigBio • Tag along other conferences (then subsidize only room&board for extra day); people that go to conferences (large and small institutions) might not be the same as the people our workshop targets • Transition to more train-the-trainers? Advertise more with AdobeConnect? • Still lose the opportunity to create connection between people • Limiting the budget for workshop is limiting to smaller institutions • Make use of more local people that can train others (be careful to not get biased with small collections where “other people”=1) • We are also turning away people • Position to make this more compelling  deal with sustainability (from us paying for everything to other business plans)

  3. iDigBio next two years (cont’d) • Data Digitization • Collections without IT is still a gap • Send iDigBio IT? To at least be able to clean and get the data? Need to have commitment from the provider to continue managing the data afterwards • What is the unique aspect of iDigBio? • Community building. GBIF is also thinking about community building • BISON is adding value with US mapping layers • Spend time to have a clear statement on what distinguishes us • Needs to be in a mindset to find what is transformational (vs. more of the same of years 1-5) • Working Groups • Need to have working groups complete its goals and produce products

  4. iDigBio additional 5 years • What is the staff really required to do workshops well? • What is transformational in all 4 pillars of iDigBio (Digitization, IT, Research, E&O)? • If mobilization is pushed into getting data into GBIF, and that is made usable in BISON, a lot of collaboration between GBIF and iDigBio will be needed to get DwCstandards extended
