Curious *how* we developed Camtrap DP, a model and format for exchanging camera trap data? The slides for my #tdwg2023 talk are available at https://bit.ly/camtrap-dp-tdwg-2023.

So many interesting camera trap conversations and use cases here in Hobart with @dhobern and others at @tdwg!

Slides for my #tdwg2023 talk about B-Cubed are available at https://bit.ly/tdwg-2023-b-cubed.

Got some great feedback already, people are cleary excited about assigning @gbif occurrence data to spatial grids and making it more analysis-ready. Interested? We have a #hackathon coming up in April next year!

@danieln Samorost and Machinarium are such comforting worlds 😌. I consider #Machinarium one of the best games ever and replay it from time to time with the kids.

The @tdwg website has a ✨new layout✨! https://www.tdwg.org

It also has better navigation, was reviewed for consistency and formatting, and makes use of Jekyll and my Petridish theme. Biggest pull request I've ever made 😅 https://github.com/tdwg/website/pull/479

@baskauf Waw! Don’t your herbivores know they’re just enabling a predator? 😊 Well, I guess they’re pretty safe from it.

@baskauf Let me know how the first game went!
🦛 Hungry hungry hippo?
🐿️ Cooperating proliferating ground squirrels?
🐺 Intelligent pack hunters?
So many strategies to choose from! 😊

@rdmpage @gbif Oh no 😔 His reference guide (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3463261) thought me how to publish species checklists.
GBIF GNA Profile Reference Guide for Darwin Core Archives

This reference guide provides an overview of the set of terms and extensions that are supported by GBIF. This collection is sometimes referred to as the “GNA Profile.” The acronym “GNA” refers to the “Global Names Architecture”: an effort among a group of partnering biodiversity informatics initiatives including GBIF to develop standardised methods, practices and shared resources for taxonomic data. This guide presents the core terms for describing a species checklist followed by a list of extensions that extend the data profile to publish rich annotations to the core taxonomic data record
