Many thanks to NIWA for providing the venue, lunch, and morning and afternoon teas.
Speaker notes
Today we have two aims; to get to know each other and to find out what issues and challenges we have in common. By each giving a short talk
we will start to get to know each other, so the aim of your talk should be to inform people of the aspirations you have for your database and/or
collection and the issues and challenges that you will face in getting there.
Your first challenge is to convey this effectively in 7min !
