Plant Ontology symposium (fwd)

[Leonore Reiser]

sounds like thanks to Toby- we are out for Botany2004 workshop- I checked
the 'call for discussions' site which is currently empty-seems like that
would be a good venue? Toby, Felipe & Peter, what are your thoughts on
this?

Subject: Plant Ontology symposium

Dear Leonore and Toby,

Thanks for the messages about the Plant Ontology symposium.  I
apologize for the delay in return correspondence; I've been
conducting field work for the last five weeks and have just returned.

We'll go ahead and withdraw the symposium from the program for Botany
2004 in Snowbird, UT, but will expect some "contributed papers"
and/or "contributed posters" on the topic.  Your authors will need to
select a disciplinary Section for their contributions when they
submit, and then the Program Chair of that Section will incorporate
the talks and/or posters into their program.

In addition, if you would like to engage some attendees in a more
general discussion about the interdisciplinary nature of your
initiative, etc., you might consider submitting a proposal for a
one-hour "Discussion Session."  The Call for Discussion Sessions, and
all relevant info about these, is posted on the Botany 2004 web site
(www.botanyconference.org).  The submission site will open in mid- to
late January.

Otherwise, I'll look forward to a symposium proposal for the Botany
2005 conference, which will be held in Austin, Texas.  The Call for
Symposia for Botany 2005 will be available sometime in the late
spring of 2005.

Best wishes for the holidays.

Jeff
