Aims to capture European Nodes strategies and work programmes.
During the 11th European GBIF Nodes meeting, we looked back at previous Regional Work Programmes that were supposed to plan our collaborative efforts for the next 12 months. We have to admit that we rarely delivered what we were promising to do, but other collaborations emerged during the year. This is mostly due to funding opportunities, unexpected collaborative works, or simply the emergence of new ideas and needs to solve common problems. Therefore we agreed to try a new, more dynamic, approach: collaborations will be described and documented in a centralised way rather than in static annual documents. This Git repository is our first attempt to make such a thing.
European nodes strategies and work programmes stored here are living documents written and organised by all European Nodes managers. All collaborative efforts within the European Nodes should theoretically be listed here.
If you are familiar with Git Markdown, simply contribute as you would do with any other repository. If you are less familiar with it, just post your issues and let others elaborate on them, or reply to others' issues.
We mostly expect and welcome contributions from all European Nodes managers. Other potential contributors are European Nodes staff, GBIF Secretariat, or GBIF community at large including data providers and data users.
The use and efficiency of this repository will be evaluated at our European Nodes meetings.
