Sorry about that blank email. Here's what I meant to say... Greetings and welcome to Dataversity in 2009! In addition to the national Dataversity meeting in Wellington on 19 and 20 March, http://dataversity.org.nz/r/topic/7qd3FhlBOWP2I0p9mYpkCh I am planning a series of regional Dataversity meetings this year. The first is to be in Canterbury on Tuesday 23rd or Wednesday 24th February. Every time I've got a group of biodiversity data people together, there has been an interesting discussion and exchange of ideas. Just swapping notes about who is doing what often stirs up useful ideas and opportunities to solve problems. Meeting together face to face is a good way to find out a lot about what each other are doing, and makes it easier to maintain ongoing contact. When participants are all from one region, they are likely to be facing common issues, and to be able to keep in touch around them. This meeting is therefore open to all local government biodiversity managers from the Canterbury region, and to staff of DoC, Landcare Research and other agencies who are interested to participate. If you're from out of Canterbury and would like to participate, either face to face or via audio conference, you're invited, too. Please let me know directly, or by adding to this topic in the public discussion group. http://dataversity.org.nz/r/topic/7caoYxMQPa2DgZSUTQ9084 I'll finalise the date and venue, when I have a few people confirmed as interested.

The idea of meeting up with other Canterbury local governments and agencies sounds interesting. It would be good to hear of others locally who are aiming to achieve similar outcomes to us at CCC. We are starting on the road to putting our own house in order re. biological data recording and management - and we're right at the beginning of the (long) process. To share ideas and approaches and establish a local network could be very useful. However, the proposed meeting in Wellington in March is of more immediate interest; to hear from agencies in other areas of the country where some of this work has already taken place. Presumably that is still happening? It takes priority for us, although we would still like to be involved in a Canterbury get-together.
To clarify the dates I am proposing for the Canterbury meeting, they are Tuesday 24 or Wednesday 25 February (not the Monday or the non-existent dates in my last email). If you're interested, please let me know your preferred day. The Wellington meeting, by the way, is definitely still on.
cheers, Dan
Sorry Dan but Otago sunshine and the rail trail calls at that time - that said as I mentioned to you today great to see it happening and the positive networking.

Hi Dan, myself and possibly more people from Landcare Research plan to attend the Canterbury meeting.
Hi Dan, Madan Gautam and myself from DOC plan to attend the Canterbury meeting. Wednesday 25 would be better than Tues 24 but we can do either day.

Dan Pressure of other work has kept me away from Dataversity for some time. Paul Fisher (who I have copied this message to) has recently started with NCC (this week) in the environmental monitoring area and has a background which includes biological databases. I would like Paul F to become involved with this debate, have access to the Dataversity site and perhaps attend the Christchurch meeting is he can make the arrangements in time. Cheers Paul Sheldon

Further to this, as I am booked out on the 6:20 to Hm and the meeting is scheduled to finish at 2:00, I would be very interested in talking further with people from ECAN and the CC Council. In particular I am interested in what a "whole of local government" structure might be. Presently we have LGNZ as a Wn lobby group acting as a voice for LG, but it is very difficult for them to provide more than this, especially when Central Government wants to engage with Councils. What are some other alternatives? I am also happy to meet with others to discuss other aspects of sharing and integration of local/regional/central government data and information, especially from a the "mainlanders" perspective/experience ~8-) Please contact me directly.

Jim - I'm happy to chat with you after the meeting, before you have to head off back to Hamilton. I'll keep the afternoon free, then we can play it by ear. Liz (CCC)
Thank you to all who participated in the meeting held on Weds 25 in Christchurch. I was pleased the amount of conversation that occurred, both during the formal parts of the meeting, and over lunch. At the same time, the complexity of the issues, challenges and opportunities faced by the participants quickly became apparent. This was one small step, that we can follow up with conversations online, and in future local and national meetings. Others who were at the Canterbury meeting, please post your reflections about it to this topic. Below are some some photos from the meeting. To see the photos, view this post on the web, ie at the bottom of the following page. http://dataversity.org.nz/r/topic/Pik9735Bfwn3LBo6FNq0B Thanks to those who helped by taking photos.
