[Gmod-help] Fwd: DowAgro Indianapolis Contract to set up CHADO/Gbrowse database

Fri Jan 23 18:46:57 EST 2009

Dave, 

please feel free to contact Mindi at DowAgro if you feel like a quick
trip to Indianapolis, with my note (I sent her mail saying I was asking
around).  

Do you, or should you start, to make contacts w/ such companies on
the subject of hunting up a joint GMOD contract that could pay for
a new full time database-installer/teacher/troubleshooter?  Maybe a 
letter to several companies asking if they have interests in such consulting. 

At a guess it won't be simple to find the right people, or time, as with Mindi Dippold, 
the need appears in a short time frame to a few people, not necessarily as part 
of the company's informatics agenda.  If you didn't hear from companies
at this last PAG conference, maybe the level of interest isn't high enough.

- Don
