Medium Conference Room - Another Taxonomic Database meeting. We will
have Katja Seltmann out from morphbank to interact with the group this
time. We will discuss the progress of the taxonomic DB, ontology

December 6 - We may not have a
regular meeting in December, because.............................back by
popular demand, the SCAMIT Christmas Party at Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
will be held again. I am working with CMA regarding the date, but keep
Saturday, December 6 or 12 open. Festivities will begin around 6 pm and
last until 9 pm. As in the past, it will be a potluck with SCAMIT
providing a honey baked ham, soft drinks, and eating utensils. We hope
to secure an alcohol permit (not ATF, no hard liquor) so we can have
beer and wine. We also hope to have Santa come pay the kids a visit, as
well. A good time for one and all, old and young. More details as the
date approaches.
