1. Welcome to Marie Angelique Laporte- Bioversity

• Marie Angelique has a background in Bioinformatics (MSc) and Plant Functional Traits (PhD). She worked previously with Elizabeth on the Crop Ontology project and the FAO on the AgroVoc/ GAACS projects.

2. Updates on the transition to Github: https://github.com/Planteome

• Plant Trait Ontology repo has been created, along with the SVN history, - testing is underway

(Big Thanks to Justin E for his hard work and perseverance on this, with assistance from the Chris and Seth)

Action Items:

• Move the rest of the files from the SVN folder (JE) - the owl file is derived from the OBO file using OBO2OWL
• Remove the other test repo "planteome-ref-ontologies" (JE). LC transferred the only comment (from CM) to the plant-trait-ontology repo.
• JE will also work on getting the TO development browser (http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/amigo/TO_dev) set up to read from the OBO file on the GitHub, rather than the one on the SVN.

3. Updates on hiring:

• At OSU- have been interviewing candidates, PJ may be able to make a decision later this week or early next week.
• No report from NYBG- DWS not on the call
• No report from Aberystwyth- JD and GG not on the call

4. Updates from Elizabeth- visit to CIMMYT
