Re: Phylorf meeting

[William Piel]

Hi all,

So far we have entries by Karen, Mark, David, and myself. 

Can we have a few more to meet quorum ?  Please contribute to the Doodle.

Regarding the time slot, we are a bit constrained by having me in Singapore and Rutger in Holland. The optimal time to cover our various time-zones would go something like this:

7AM Pacific time = 10AM Easter time =  4PM Holland time = 11PM Singapore time

Looks like there are two days when Karen, Mark, David, Rutger, Rob and I can have a conference call: Feb 25 and Feb 27. 

Shall we say Feb 25? 

[Robert Guralnick]

  I can live with that date.  When would work?

How long do we expect this to take?   I now have a potential conflict that morning.  I'm not sure exactly when that other event will start (I will find out on Tuesday), but I might be able to push it a bit later in the morning.

For me it depends on the time slot, and with the time difference it's going to be a bit awkward (having another telecon with the US as well). So, it depends.

[Karen Cranston]

10 am EST is good for me, as does an earlier time. I have the same telecon as Rutger at 11 am EST, so later does not work.

[Robert Guralnick]

  Shall we pin down 10am EST?  

Best, Rob

[David Maddison]

If you have two need to leave at 11 am EST, then I am good.  On Wednesday I would need to leave then, too (on Friday I could go on longer).  Sounds as if Wednesday will work.

Hi all, I lost track of this thread (old museum email) but WILL be online at 10 ET coming up shortly. I assume G+? I am mwestneat@gmail

[Karen Cranston]

Sounds good! I've started a document for notes, and put the questions that have come up over email in a rough agenda:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/17obOeVQsXdS92cXhQtN7An-HXz6unKwuDSa7pvzULk4/edit

[William Piel]

So I gather that we’re taking in about 40 minutes from now:

7AM Pacific time = 10AM Eastern = 4PM Holland time = 11PM Singapore time


Does anyone remember how to start a Google conference??? Please email everyone a link, or whatever it takes.


I’ll take this opportunity to share some TreeBASE stats. For the first tine we are getting more than 2,000 trees per year (see attached graph), which is a bit daunting for me (given that I’m vetting these things…).

Here are some basic summary stats:

Number of distinct authors: 9,874
Number of published studies: 4,471
Number of published matrices: 9,199
Number of published matrix-rows: 598,339
Number of published trees: 14,577
Number of mapped taxa: 113,209
Number of OTUs: 876,297

I’ll also attach the letter from Naturalis Biodiversity Center, seeing as that’s one of the main things for us to discuss.

regards,

Bill

[Val Tannen]

I apologize for being MIA.
I cannot join the call but I hope that I will find out the gist of the decisions.
All the best, Val

Does anyone remember how to start a Google conference???  Please email everyone a link, or whatever it takes.

1. everyone will need the google hangouts plugin (for video and sound): http://www.google.com/hangouts/

2. the organizer will need to know everyone's google accounts. Usually this is a gmail address.

[Mark Westneat]

I started a hangout, here is the link:
