Phenotyping meeting

[Bruskiewich, Richard]

Hello everyone,

Since the proposed ISMB meeting was to broadly cover organisms, not just
plants, I would still like to know whether or not the non-plant database
representatives are interested. If so, I would still be inclined to proceed
with the meeting. Whomever from the plant community who might be available
could still come. I anticipate possibly having several CGIAR bioinformatics
folks in Edmonton that week. As many of you know, phenotyping is a core
activity of the CGIAR therefore, we'd have a strong need, considerable
expertise, hence alot to contribute in this area.

Michael, you can decide: have some of your animal database people expressed
interest? I'm sure some sort of meeting would still be feasible if some of
your crowd are interested.

Cheers
Richard at IRRI

Subject: Summary of discussion

2. Possibility of a phenotype workshop & small POC meeting after the ISMB
meeting in Canada - with Richard B. & Michael A. Most folk would be
otherwise occupied at this time (& not attending the ISMB meeting) & so
would not be available to attend. Reaffirmed the useful role of phone
dialogue as a stop-gap.
