Community Consults

Each Wednesday ask and collectively help to solve TaxonWorks (and related!) questions

These unconference-style sessions are on Wednesdays at the same time, every week. All are welcome, regardless of whether you consider yourself a collaborator. The flexible agendas are set by those attending the meetings. We use a shared Google document to record our minutes and plan our session. Adding your issues prior to the meeting helps everyone to pre-plan strategies for tackling those issues.

TaxonWorks Late Nite

Once in a blue moon

Once in a while we host a "late-nite" meeting for our overseas collaboration who are in chronologically-challenged time-zones. These are chat-and-chill style. If you're interested in seeing one happen reach out.
