NZES Conference Meetup

The 2008 NZ Ecological Society conference "Ecology on our Doorstep" is
in Auckland from 29 September to 2 October.

As a number of Dataversity members will be at that conference, it
presents a good opportunity to meet up. The conference programme is no
doubt full, but perhaps there's a chance to meet during one of the
breaks, even if it is just to put faces to names.

If you are going to be there, and are interested in meeting up, please
reply to this post.

Please also indicate if you'd be willing to help organise a meeting by
helping to pick a time and place, and providing some facilitation on the
day.

cheers,

Hi all,

Who is willing to pick a time and place, and facilitate on the day? Mike, is
your Ecobase demo part of the Ecosoc programme, or are you haoping to demo it
at the Dataversity meetup? If the latter, perhaps you'd be a good convenor for
the meeting?

(Nancy, were you confirming for the meeting at Ecosoc or the meeting in
Wellington?)

Hi Dan,
Hoping to get a spot to present to the general audience.
I'm sure we can get some space here at ARC if that suits best.

Hi,
I would also like to join your get-together at EcoSoc in Auckland. I am
presenting at the last session on Thursday afternoon on the value of
community data and Public Participatory GIS.

I'd really like to hear if Ecobase is similar to NatureServe Vista.

So far, the ten people below have expressed interest in meeting at the NZES
conference, but no-one has offered to pick a time and place, and facilitate
introductions.

Although the conference has started, perhaps there is still time to organise
this directly among those Dataversity members who are there.

If you get this email and you're keen to meet up, feel free to take the lead.

Hiya,

Well spotted, Dan!
I have been in touch with the conference organisers and they have space
for us to have a lunchtime get-together.
I was thinking that Thursday lunchtime would be perfect (I'm presenting
ARC Ecobase at 2:50 on Thursday).
I'll put a notice up on the board (rego desk) on Thursday with the room
details, and we'll take it from there.
Bring any ideas / items for discussion!

Let me know if you are not attending Thursday, and we can reschedule
(though I'll have to pass on the facilitation baton to another member).

Otherwise, see you Thursday.

Thx,
mike

Hi,
A selection of the Dataversity community met at EcoSoc on the 2nd October.
Great conference, interesting presentations!
Thanks to all who made the effort to catch up (Frances Schmechel, Ryan Clark,
Yanbin Deng, Matt Baber, Shay Dean, James Lambie, Nikki MacArthur, Nicolas
Martin, Owen Spearpoint, and myself), and a potential new member also (Emily
Roper, Akl CC), who recognises a great forum when they see one.
Following introductions, a short and very informal lunchtime discussion ensued,
regarding data quality, regional / national database aggregation, DoCs BioWeb /
NIMS, to name a few.
Another topic was the lack of inter-council leadership and cohesion with
respect to Biodiversity data (Frances). The BioSecurity Managers Group, and the
Resource Managers Group were identified as forums to guide or supply direction,
with both groups composed of persons in decision-making roles (James). Now may
be a great time to specify requirements for inter-council Biodiversity info
sharing, due to the Regional Policy Statement review (Matt).
I hope I haven't missed anything.
Please feel free to add additional comments.
thx,
mike

Hi Mike,
Thanks for covering this. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend.

I support the idea of strengthening the inter-council leadership and
cohesion generally and Biodiversity data is a good place to continue
this.

I don't know much about the BioSecurity Managers Group, but certainly
the Resource Managers Group is an influential forum with many of these
members standing in for their CEOs (when needed) at the collective
Regional Councils CEO Forum and at the Regional Affairs Committee (were
the 16 Regional Chairs and CEOs meet).

The engagement across the 75(?) Territorial Authorities (Cities and
Districts) is a bit more of a challenge. I think they usually separate
into the Metros and others. An alternative structure is engagement via
Regional clusters. Examples of this are the ALGGi group in Auckland
where the Auckland Council GIS people coordinate around Geospatial data
initiatives. A similar group in the Waikato is WaiGIS, that includes not
only the Waikato Council people but others from industry and other
organisations in the Waikato. I understand that similar initiatives are
underway in the Manawatu - Wanganui Region, in the Bay of Plenty and in
Wellington.

What were the thoughts around leveraging the Regional Policy Statement
review?
Is this a purely Auckland opportunity or might it have more general /
widespread application?

Another, opportunity that is shaping up is collective Council engagement
around the renewal of the LCDB (land Cover Database). MfE is starting to
consider this as part of LUCAS, but I think it has wider application. It
could be advantageous to get the collective Councils thinking about
this, perhaps via Dataversity?

Any comments or suggestions?
