<p class="MsoNormal">Our February VWC will be continued planning for the 2018 ASM and associated one-day IMC meeting. A small group of participants began discussion on this topic in December and their notes are posted on the IMC website (<a href="http://im.lternet.edu/vwc-dec2017">http://im.lternet.edu/vwc-dec2017</a>).
The sorts of things they discussed were workflows, vocabularies, taxonomies, standardization, etc. We would like to continue this brainstorming on topics relevant to our meeting and our community.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">See you around the water cooler!<o:p></o:p></p>
