This sounds like a good way of sharing documents, specially those that are not public yet or will never be. I want to explore more about this. Although I've actually use it with the deims group, I don't fully understand it's "mechanics".

Thanks.

Hi Eda (and others),

My notes (although not yet from the final day) are located in our LTER GitHub Organization Repository, here: https://github.com/lter/LTERIM. It would be super if more people contributed!

I have not yet finished my updates/responding to emails as I was taking the labor day weekend off :), but it's on the queue to get out tomorrow morning.

To contribute your notes you need to set up as a free user on GitHub, but if you want to simply view the notes or other parts of any repository, you can see them on GitHub.com -- they will render in your browser. As a GitHub user, you can fork the repository (basically make a tracking copy on your local computer) and contribute your own notes to that local repository, then push it up to GitHub. Several IM's are on GitHub, and we/they are notified by email when new information is committed, so we can perform a safe merge into the main repository. 

If you're interested in this, but don't want to go the command line route, there are "GUIs" for GitHub available for the three main OS's-- Windows, Mac, and Linux. I think Visual Studio 2015 also has built in GitHub support (maybe need to use WebMatrix to install packages, though?)

If it would be helpful, I'm willing to help any of you set up as a user on GitHub, or to use the git-svn bridge to use an existing subversion user to interact with the LTER repository. I'll be at work normal times all this upcoming week except Wednesday, so you can call the number below and I'll walk you through it.

Oh yes, if privacy is an issue there is a private option for repositories. I think there is a cost to doing this, though, but I do not think it is too high.

I meant to do a "reply-all" for volunteering in doing this. Sorry. Please read the bellow message where I inquire for a private documents repository.

Also, I suggest to have two volunteers to do this. One that does the actual collection of the votes (for example I) and another that double checks the process.

I am willing to do this.

Also, remember that I am to make sure all voices are heard. In this regard I ask you, besides Fox's notes, did anybody else submit their meeting notes?

 I think Fox'es notes are in a Google doc; wouldn't it be nice to have all private ddice n the same place? Do we have some kind of private depository for our documents, like the surveys' results and meetings' notes? If not I think we should have one.

Dear colleagues,

As we proceed with the process of selecting a host institution I would like to ask for some assistance; specifically for a site rep, whose site is not volunteering to be considered as a NIMO host, to administer the selection process.  In order to do this you will ideally have access to a Surveymonkey account, or similar tool, that you can use to collect the choices of each site. Please let me know if you are willing to perform this role. 

Regards,

Philip Tarrant

I am actively seeking career opportunities beginning December, 2015. I am based in Oregon. My background is in forestry, economics, and data science. I have extensive experience in the field collecting data both manually and with sensors; I am also skillful with statistics, using databases, and developing front- and back- end solutions in several popular computer languages. I am comfortable with techniques for analyzing "big data" and spatial data. I enjoy QA/QC and I am committed to working flexibly within a team to develop datasets and analyses that are clean, useable, and understandable. Please contact me via email for a resume and/or references.
